Music Festival for Mission San Miguel

 

 

Mission San  Miguel, San Miguel, CA. . – This year’s Week of Christian Unity Prayer, held just after the earthquake that shook North County, left everyone that participated with a sense of thankfulness for what they have, an increased feeling of unity in the spirit that binds us all together, and a desire to maintain and build upon that sense of spirit throughout the entire year.

 

Appropriately on Memorial Weekend, Sunday May 30th, 7P.M.-9:00P.M. at St. Rose of Lima Church, 820 Creston Road, Paso Robles, the ten churches are coming together again to offer both moral and financial support for a fellow church in need,  the badly damaged old church of Mission San Miguel, with a Free Will Music Festival.  The theme of the Music Festival is “One in the Spirit” and will feature the energy and talents of the churches’ choirs and music ministries. Participants will include: Atascadero United Methodist Church Choir, St. James’ Episcopal Parish Choir/ Band, Second Baptist and Youth Choirs, Plymouth Congregational Church Choir, San Miguel Mission Choir, St. Rose of Lima Church Choir, Atascadero St. Luke Episcopal Youth Symphony Ensemble, Templeton Bethel Lutheran Church Choir, Trinity Lutheran Church Choir, and North County Christian Fellowship Church Choir. Guest music coordinator is John Warren, Director of the New World Baroque Orchestra. After the concert, refreshments will be served. All donations will go to the Mission San Miguel Preservation Fund.

 

After your Memorial Weekend picnic, why not complete the day by bringing family and friends along for an up-lifting celebration of song and spirit?   The concert, the first of its kind held in the North County, will give everyone a chance to meet new friends and join in the effort of restoring North County’s oldest historic landmark.
