THE Baptist Church in Javea (JIBC) is joining forces with ClaireMarie, a multitalented, classically trained soprano, flautist and conductor, to hold a concert to aid the victims of the Turkey Syria earthquake. Claire, a former language teacher at the Lady Elizabeth School, has now embarked on a new life singing on cruise liners but has come home for a while and, touched by the horror of the disaster, she has decided to do a concert to raise funds for the relief effort.
Claire usually sings religious music at the church. Still, on this occasion, she will treat the audience to a selection from her repertoire of ‘classical gems and golden oldies’ that everyone will enjoy. According to those who have heard her sing in the past, she can sing anything and has a beautiful voice! The concert will be followed by tea, coffee and cake, and all proceeds will go to Turkey and Syria. Claire will perform at the Javea International Baptist Church Centre at Calle Favara 8, which has a capacity for around 90 to 100 people. This is not a ticketed event and attendees will be invited to make a donation.
The church always makes good use of the centre and has been helping and supporting Ukrainian families with meals and fellowship since the war with Russia began. Although many of their
Ukrainian friends have now moved on to Germany or have returned to their homes, the church continues to support several families.
The Meeting Place takes place every week on Friday at 11am and is a source of food and conversation for anyone who needs it, so if you’re feeling lonely and in need of company, please go along.
