LifePoints Gospel Sing
Sunday, April 28, 2024
Free babysitting services for potty-trained children.
Join us on Sunday April 28th, 2024, as we make a joyful noise together at the Five Points auditorium in Washington, IL for the annual LifePoints Gospel Sing. We are excited to announce that The Anderson Family will be performing their Bluegrass Gospel music this year! Doors will open at 5:45 PM for open seating, and the program will begin at 6:00 PM. Tickets are not required this year!
The Anderson Family features the voices and instruments of Bro. Zach and Sis. Karla Anderson (Congerville, IL) along with their five children – Caiden (17), Laiken (16), Ellie (14), Colton (11) and Alayna (8). You may remember that The Anderson Family graciously recorded an entire concert in their living room on behalf of LifePoints for our 2020 Virtual Gospel Sing when all in-person events were canceled. We are extremely pleased to have them perform live and in-person this year!
In addition to The Anderson Family’s performance, a worship team organized by Bro. Caleb and Sis. Courtney Sauder (Champaign, IL) will be leading us all in collective hymn singing. We are excited to hear the auditorium filled with our voices praising the Lord together!
We are also looking forward to hearing from a special LifePoints family member about the impact Apostolic Christian LifePoints has had on their family’s life. There will be a free will offering collected, and those funds help us to provide Christian homes for adults with developmental disabilities. Local Young Group members will be providing free babysitting services for potty-trained children. As in years past, we will be livestreaming the Gospel Sing for those who are unable to attend in person. We would love to share in this evening with each of you!
Contact Bro. Royce Schieler with any questions.
