▪ Save Room For Pie |
IMS is hosting another Into The Black fundraising event
on June 28 in Celebration Hall. Save Room For Pie is an
evening featuring a performance by The Walking Roots Band, a silent auction of
meals, and (of course) pie and ice cream. If you've never heard TWRB, we think
you're going to like them! 'TWRB is an acoustic,
Americana, folksy, blue-ish-grassy, roots music group based in Harrisonburg,
VA. Steeped in Anabaptist hymn-singing traditions, the band’s original folk
music and reclaimed hymns are supported with lush vocal harmonies. The music
speaks of hope, whether through sacred words written hundreds of years ago or
in the honest voice of one of the band’s songwriters.' The silent auction and pie eating fellowship begin at 6:00
PM followed by the free concert at 7:00 PM. There will be a offering during the
concert with the goal of raising $75,000 in one night! You won't want to miss
this important event to help IMS get 'into the black' at the end of the
year.
