The Sayre Christian Church is planning for a busy summer in 2017, filled with lots of good music, good food and great fun. Once again, the church has set a goal of feeding 15,000 school children in a poor 3rd world village, increasing their non-perishable food donations to local pantries, and continuing to raise awareness of hunger issues in our community and beyond. <\/p>\n
The church will be offering a new event this summer with a Christian Music Festival, \u201cSummerFest to Impact Hunger,\u201d which will be held on Saturday, July 22, from 1 to 7 p.m. on the church lawn. They will be partnering with Christian band \u201cCopper Coins\u201d, from Waverly, to provide an afternoon of inspirational music, speakers and booths (on hunger issues), games for all ages, great food, a basket raffle and more. <\/p>\n
\u201cCopper Coins\u201d will headline this free event from 5:45 to 7 p.m. with a song list that includes covers by Chris Tomlin, David Crowder Band, Hillsong, Matt Redman, Casting Crowns, Leeland, Newsboys and more, as well as a few original songs written by Copper Coins. <\/p>\n
The band recently stated, \u201cWe are in the process of writing more original songs and in time hope to have a set list of 50\/50 covers and originals to share with you about who God is and what He means to us.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCopper Coins\u201d also invited some friends – \u201cA Few More Faithful,\u201d a high-energy blues, gospel and rock band from Horseheads, N.Y., who will perform from 4 to 5:15 p.m. Also, DiAnza Macool, an amazing vocalist from Hornell, N.Y., will perform from 2:30 to 3:40 p.m. <\/p>\n
The afternoon of music will begin at 1:15 p.m. with \u201cMatthew\u2019s Hope\u201d, which draws from the musical talents of the Sayre Christian Church and friends, performing a mix of Christian covers and original songs of hope and peace.<\/p>\n
Throughout the afternoon there will be games and activities including a dunk tank, great food, and opportunities to understand and make an impact on hunger, locally and around the world.<\/p>\n
