Long
Island Concert of Praise
We
are blessed to be part of a wonderful ministry-oriented district with
many exciting events planned throughout the spring. We have thoroughly
explored both the calendar and the venue options. In doing so, it has
became clear that long standing events planned by sister organizations,
congregations, individuals as well as venues in Long Island make it
impossible to reschedule the Concert of Praise.
A great deal has been learned from this experience, not the least of
which is that God’s people have a strong desire to come together
to praise and thank our awesome God. We are indebted to our Concert
Planning Committee – Henry DeVries, Cindy Holden, George Heath
and Rev. Dien Taylor and Rev. William Harmon for the many hours and
hard work that went into preparation for the concert. We also appreciate
the many choirs and groups that were prepared for Sunday.
It is our hope to attempt something like this again but, in the meantime,
we encourage you to participate in some of the other events (see calendar
at www.ad-lcms.org) and possibly think about hosting something in your
region…a praise band event, a prayer meeting, a joint program
with other LCMS parishes in your area.
We thank God for His many blessings, the gift of music, and we praise
him this day and always.
