Good Neighbor presents 2016 combined choir concert This year’s annual Choral Concert to benefit Good Neighbor Emergency Assistance, Inc. will be at 2 p.m. on Sunday Nov. 6, at the Collegiate United Methodist Church/Wesley Foundation (CUMC/WF) located at 2622 Lincoln Way, Ames. The concert features performances by 11 choirs and musical ensembles, including bell choirs and a children’s choir. The event allows a number of musical groups to showcase their talents to community members beyond their own congregations. The highlight of the concert will be the performance of a Mass Choir comprised
of members from an assortment of choirs as the conclusion of the show. The Mass Choir will be conducted by Carl Bleyle, the CUMC/WF Chancel Choir Director/ Organist Houser. There is no charge to attend the event. A free-will collection will be taken to support Good Neighbor in its work of assisting those in need. Since its inception in 1997, Good Neighbor has provided needed assistance and support to thousands of households throughout Story County. The agency provides rental and utility assistance in an effort to
avoid homelessness and/ or the disruption of needed services. Healthy Food Vouchers are given to ensure that nutritious meals are available within the home. Gas Vouchers are provided to assist with emergency transportation needs. All assistance is provided in an atmosphere of dignity, comfort and encouragement. Parking is available at CUMC/WF with overflow parking available at Collegiate Presbyterian Church located at 159 Sheldon Ave. Doors open at 1:30 p.m. We hope you can join us at this enjoyable event to support Good Neighbor.
