They will be performing at the Pemberville Opera House at 7:30 p.m. May 4 and at the Grand Rapids Town Hall at 2 p.m., May 5.
The Gospel Harmony Boys originated in Huntington, W.Va. in 1952 and have been presenting concerts all across the United States and Canada in churches, auditoriums, amphitheaters, fairs, and festivals ever since.

WASHINGTON- Hundreds of churches, including several prominent megachurches, and 2.5 million individuals are expected to observe Blue Sunday, day of prayer for abused and neglected children, on Sunday. Shepherding the Next Generation, a network of evangelical pastors and faith leaders, is partnering with the Blue Sunday organization to promote awareness and action on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of U.S. children who are abused and neglected each year.
Blue Sunday was founded more than 14 years ago by Janet Magee, a member of a local Texas church, who wanted the church to play an active role in addressing child abuse and neglect. "When we have nowhere else to turn, these situations drive us to our knees," said Magee.
Churches commit to pray for the victims and their rescuers. The Blue Sunday program is held the last Sunday in April.

Six months previous to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the two World Trade towers in New York City, John moved from India seeking adventure and prosperity in the U.S. He worked on the 81st floor of the North Tower, and his then-pregnant wife, Mary worked in the 71st floor of the South Tower. By the grace of God, they both survived.
