It will be a great fall of musical exploration! The Hopewell United Methodist Church will launch a series of musical performances starting in September, drawing on individuals and groups that have incredible musical abilities but may be undiscovered talents in the area.
Join us as we explore different musical styles and sensibilities.
All shows are in the church sanctuary (we have great acoustics!) and are from 7 pm – 9 pm. Tickets are $20 and will be available at the door. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Good Music for A Good Cause, Too!
