Congregations to Help Family Promise

Performers from several local congregations will help Family Promise of Cobb County (FPCC) kick off its effort to help the county’s homeless families when they perform in the “One Family” musical celebration at Unity North Atlanta Church on Saturday, May 17.  

“We invite everyone in Cobb County to join us as we celebrate the launch of Family Promise of Cobb County at this milestone event,” said FPCC President Fred Massey. “We hope this event will not only help us to raise funds for this initiative, but that it will also help to introduce us to the larger Cobb County community.”  

“The theme of the event – One Family … One Promise … One Song – captures the essence of the message that FPCC hopes to convey through this event,” Massey added. “Unity North has graciously agreed to host this event, which will feature performers from many of the area congregations that are supporting our efforts.”  

Musical performers from Acworth United Methodist Church, Covenant Presbyterian Church, Mount Zion United Methodist Church, Pilgrimage United Church of Christ, Saint Andrew United Methodist Church, St. Catherine's Episcopal Church, and Unity North Atlanta Church have already agreed to participate in the One Family event.

Musicians and vocalists from other congregations are also expected to join the lineup of performers in the weeks between now and the night of the show.   Advance tickets for the “One Family” musical celebration are $7 each, and may be purchased from participating congregations or on the FPCC web site at www.familypromisecobbcounty.org.

Family tickets may also be purchased in advance at a cost of $20 for four tickets. Tickets purchased at the door on the night of the event will cost $10 each. The cost for a family package of four tickets purchased at the door on the evening of the event will be $25.  

“We look forward to welcoming everyone interested in supporting the Family Promise of Cobb County initiative to our ‘One Family’ celebration on May 17,” Massey said.
