“We are excited to bring gospel icons back to the city of Flint this year, “ said Dr. Rabon L. Turner, senior pastor of Grace Emmanuel.
Turner added: “Grace Emmanuel wants to provide area families an opportunity to see top-notch talent and we want everyone to make this special event part of their Mother’s Day memories this year absolutely free.”
This year, in addition to the powerful line up of performers, Grace Emmanuel has also included area youth interest groups from local sororities and fraternities including Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
“We want to ensure that concert attendees from across the state have an opportunity to see some of the wonderful things that our youth are doing in the city of Flint,” Turner said. “And, we are hoping to inspire our young people to come out and support their friends who have a chance to share the stage with legendary gospel performers from across the country.”
