We Feed People....With Music

This Friday night marks the first of a number of music-related events that we're a part of in the next few months. The most interesting part? We really didn't plan on any of it!

First things first: Rock The Mission is this Friday at Gateway Church in South Charleston. Earlier this year, our friend Shane Lowther, the lead singer of a contemporary Christian band called Goodnight Silo, told us he'd like to start holding annual concerts to benefit Union Mission. Needless to say, he didn't have to twist our arms too hard.

We hope you can make it. Doors open at 6:30, and five bucks gets you in. Goodnight Silo and 5 Second Head Start are headlining the show, and they have a special guest coming with them. Three bands, five bucks, one great cause. Can't go wrong, folks.

Next up, in October, contemporary Christian musician Jeremy Camp is bringing his Speaking Louder Than Before Tour to Charleston's Municipal Auditorium (with guests Natalie Grant and Bebo Norman, both of whom could easily headline their own show). Jeremy is a very missional guy, and he selects a local charity to partner with on every show he does. We were so very blessed to hear that he picked us as his benefit organization for his October 25 show. Bring a canned food item and make sure you visit the Union Mission/WeFeedPeople.com booth at the show. Visit his tour date site for more info. Trust us: this is gonna be a big show, and we are absolutely thrilled to be a part of it.

Finally--and this is just in the planning stages right now--but Hurricane First Baptist Church has invited us to participate in an annual youth convention they are hosting on November 21 and 22. The headline act is the Christian group 33 Miles. We'll be telling you more about this as the time gets closer.

Hope to see you soon.
