Chicago Children's Choir to sing during June 3 worship at Bethel United Church of Christ

Bethel United Church of Christ, 315 E. St. Charles Road in Elmhurst, invites you to the 10 a.m. worship on Sunday, June 3, when the Austin and Englewood Neighborhood Choirs of the renowned Chicago Children's Choir join the Bethel congregation for a morning of festive and uplifting worship in a service of unity through word and music.

The theme is "One Body, One Spirit, One Chicago."

Forty young people from the neighborhood choirs, under the direction of Keshena Luckett and Lonnie Norwood Jr. and accompanied by Bethel musicians, will sing throughout the service, inspiring worshipers with music of African-American and contemporary origins.

Founded as a single choir in Hyde Park at the height of the Civil Rights Movement in 1956, today Chicago Children's Choir serves 4,800 youth who represent all 57 Chicago ZIP codes. Its mission is to unite youth from diverse backgrounds to become global citizens through music.

Everyone is invited to join choir members, their families and the Bethel congregation for brunch after this special service.
