Franklin Interfaith Council's Voices of Faith Concert - April 29

The Franklin Interfaith Council is pleased to announce our Voices of Faith concert on Sunday - April 29 at 6 pm. This free concert will be performed by musicians from the council's houses of worship. The musical selections chosen are a reflection of the performer's faith and dedication to their house of worship. All of the Council's faiths hold music as a central and sacred part of their expressions of faith. This concert is an opportunity for us to share these special songs with our greater family of Franklin. Musical selections include performances by children's choirs, adult choirs, instrumental pieces as well as performances by the Interfaith Council's chorus.

All are invited to share in this musical celebration. The concert is being graciously hosted by Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 91 Jordan Rd. Doors open at 5:30 pm. The concert is free and there is plenty of free parking. The facilities are wheelchair accessible.

The theme for our concert this year is "Peace" and we are happy to announce that donations offered at the concert will be used for refugee relief.

Comprising many of the houses of faith in Franklin, the Interfaith Council addresses the various needs of Franklin by recognizing the power of faith as defined by our individual spiritual traditions. However it is these same traditions that unite us in the common goal to initiate and sponsor activities that enrich and challenge the citizens of Franklin. Additionally, the council seeks to both acknowledge and celebrate the diversity and the common values existing within Franklin. The council is a nonprofit organization that has as its primary purpose the betterment of the community it serves.

Current members of the FIC include: St. Mary Catholic Church, St. John's Episcopal Church, First Universalist Society in Franklin, The Franklin United Methodist Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, The Franklin Federated Church and Temple Etz Chaim.
