The ‘Christmas is Coming Tour,’ with award winning singer-songwriter Jason Gray as headliner, and featuring guests Chris August and Hannah Kerr, will be coming to the Lake Sarah Baptist Church on Saturday, December 16. The troupe will present an evening of Christmas carols, songs and stories that will delight audiences of all ages.
Gray, a native of southwest Minnesota, born and raised in Lynd, visits the Bible camp on Lake Shetek every summer. “We were so fortunate to get him to perform here,” Parrie says, noting that he has also performed at the church on various occasions.
“Gray has emerged as a songwriter of extraordinary depth,” reviews tout. “The Minnesota native is steadily drawing legions of fans who recognize his ability to connect with listeners on an emotional level, offering not escape or distraction, but healing and hope.”
The concert will take the place of the church’s “Christmas Evening in the Country”, Chelsey Parrie, programming and events director says, adding that it is intended to be a revamped version of that annual event. “We wanted to have an event to be able to bless the community with – something that they don’t normally get to do,” she explains.
