Faith-based concert coming to Bohemia Park
COTTAGE GROVE — All are invited to come together for an evening of faith-based music during the Community Harvest Concert in the Park, which will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 4 at Bohemia Park Amphitheater. Concert begins at 6:30 p.m. The event is free.
A large interdenominational worship team, led by Stephen Clark, will engage concertgoers with a mix of new and familiar songs. There will be food trucks and fundraising booths for local youth group projects.
South Lane Concerts (SLC) is a new nonprofit dedicated to producing three annual faith-based concerts: Christmas, Easter and summertime.
SLC Coordinators Christi Fields, Savannah Matthews, and Cindy Weeldreyer co-founded the planning group earlier this year that is devoted to sharing the gospel of Christ through music throughout the year.
“The concert is designed to bring hope and greater unity to South Lane County communities,” Weeldreyer wrote in the news release. “The purpose of the group is to encourage people of all ages who are musicians, singers, dramatists, worship teams, prayer warriors and pastors to join this effort and become more unified in blessing our communities in these challenging times.”
