A SPECIAL NIGHT
On Tuesday, April 28, 2015 from 6:45PM to 8:15 PM the
Celebrate Recovery Ministry will be hosting a special night of
music and testimony. The Emmanuel Gospel Choir founded in
2000 by Louisiana Native Scott Sontag and Cecelia Stearman as an outreach ministry from
the Emmanuel Baptist Church of Rueil-Malmaison, France, will be here in concert. Many of
their members have become believers and been baptized in the Emmanuel Church.
The choir sings several concerts each year in the Paris area, helping charity organizations
raise money for their projects. They recently sang on the grounds of Roland Garros (where
the French Open takes place) in partnership with the French Tennis Federation, raising funds
that help build water towers, and schools in Mali, Africa. They are currently in the United
States touring with 46 singers.
During this evening of music and testimony a Celebrate Recovery testimony will be shared by
Teresa. The Celebrate Recovery small groups will meet at 8:15 PM. If you are a first time guest
you are invited to learn more about Celebrate Recovery by attending CR 101. If you choose
not to attend CR 101, please join us for a reception for the choir in the fellowship hall.
If you are interested in learning more about Celebrate Recovery or The Landing, contact Pastor
Jay Johnston at [email protected]
