Black History Month Choir Concert at Bethany Baptist Church, Montpelier

On Sunday afternoon, February 23rd, the St. Elizabeth Gospel Choir was in concert for Bethany Baptist Church's 2013 Black History Month Program.  Speaker for this event was The Honorable Judge Roger L. Gregory, the first black judge to serve on the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Worship leader was our own parishioner, Cathy Woodson.  Mother and daughter, Carla Smith and Justice Derricott performed a beautiful Praise Dance as part of the program.

Bethany's program director had seen our choir perform last year on TV and decided to invite us to provide the music for this year's event.

We were very well received by the congregation and its pastor, Rev. Patrick H. Jones.  Several of our own parishioners attended to support their choir members.

Black History Month at Holy Rosary brought together the combined St. E's and Holy Rosary Choirs under the direction of Dr. Joseph Robinson to lend our voices to this memorable occasion.  Our old friend, Fr. George Clements from Chicago, who has celebrated with us many times over the years was the main celebrant at the Mass that day.

There was a bountiful repast afterward that was enjoyed by all.
