Concert to raise money for destroyed orphanage

Two worship bands are coming to Marion to rock the sanctuary and help raise money and awareness for an orphanage that burned in September 2013 and left a number of orphans not only without parents but also without a home.

Worship bands Road 23 and Glenn Park Worship Arts will be donating their time and musical talent for the fundraising event, “Worship to Build.”

Music will begin at 6:30 p.m. April 5 at Marion Christian Church and continue until 8:30 p.m.

“The vision behind this event is to offer a time for the community to worship together and raise money for a new orphanage in Togo, Africa,” youth minister Chris Ensley said Friday. “The concert is free, however, we are asking for donations.”

All donations collected will go toward building a new orphanage in Togo.

A ministry called “Feeding the Orphans” is sponsoring the occasion.
