First Congregational Church at 5 Real Rd. is hosting the children’s Voices of Sudan International Choir at a concert in the sanctuary of the church at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 23.  The choir is touring California with the goal of traveling to Sacramento to bring awareness of their homeland and its urgent needs.

There will be opportunities for people attending to sign cards to send to refugee families in Darfur, Sudan and to decorate a refugee tent, which will be on display in the state capitol as part of the Tents of Hope campaign.  Decorated tents will then go to Washington, D.C. to be displayed on the National Mall in September.  (See tentsofhope.org)  Guests may also choose to support the Angels Over Africa Mission.

For more information contact FCC Youth Director Nancy Bacon (327-1609).
