The mass choir from St. Paul United Methodist Church will be back on Oct. 1. Other performers on Oct. 1 will be Richard Dawkins, Deacon Authority, King’s Kid, Mischeal Goldsmith’s The Greater Works Project featuring Bishop Stephen Williams and Nelson Roberts, Pastor Todd Curry & St. Peter “The Rock” Choir, and Jeremiah Salter & Nu Elevation Worship.
On Oct. 8, performers will be Saundra Crenshaw & Pure Quality, Dr. George Pass II and NEW, Camari Jeter, Bishop Grosjean Stephens, Raymond & Kim Larkin: Real Love Music, The Gatekeeperz and Patty Perrin & Friends
