Matsiko World Orphan Choir is Coming to Newton

The Matsiko World Orphan Choir is performing for FREE on Friday evening, July 8, from 7:30 - 9 PM at First Baptist Church in Newton.

The Matsiko World Orphan Choir is performing on Friday evening, July 8, from 7:30 - 9 PM at First Baptist Church in Newton (848 Beacon Street). The event is free and supports a good cause, so don't miss it! The choir consists of children from Liberia, Peru, and India. Their mission is to share a message of hope for the world's 600 million orphaned and at-risk children by performing energetic and dynamic cultural dances in full vibrant costumes and songs that are primarily original. They have performed all over the United States in schools, churches, professional sporting events, multicultural events, and more. You can see them perform and learn a little more about the group in this video:

While there is no charge for this event, there will be a basket for donations, plus a chance to purchase homemade goods (hats, bags, dolls, jewelry) from the children's countries. CD's and T-shirts will also be sold. We look forward to seeing everyone at 848 Beacon Street in Newton Centre on Friday July 8 at 7:30 PM so we can show this wonderful group our full support! Parking is available for the event in the rear of the church.
