There are so many ways we hope, and from civil rights marching songs to hymns, from heroic anthems to powerful ballads about love and life and moving forward… song has always been a popular way to express this feeling. We as human beings often sing in times of darkness to bring lightness into our own hearts, and to share that light with others. Pastor Bill invited us to put on this concert dedicated to showing hope in our own way.
