Under the direction of Bob Loebsack, The Gloryland Chorus from Kitchener will share their toe-tapping melodies at Drayton Reformed Church on Oct. 21.
Through a variety of new and old melodies, Gloryland Chorus shares a message of hope and faith. Instead of simply performing, they offer unique moments during their concerts. Members interact and involve the audience, making each performance a memory-filled opportunity.
Recently, the Gloryland Chorus was honoured to have been part of the opening worship service for the International Plowing Match in Roseville last month. The chorus also provided two separate programs during the event.
Gloryland Chorus is garnering a reputation for reviving a fondness for gospel music as members share their love for originals and old favourites.
The chorus, made up of more than 30 members, is in demand at churches and other community events, with their favorite activity being part of fundraising opportunities.
The concert at Drayton Reformed Church will be for a fundraiser in support of the Rwanda Mission group.
Through the generosity of freewill offerings and contributions, the Gloryland Chorus has supported numerous local charities and programs, including Hospice of Waterloo Region, Nutrition for Learning, CLWR Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund, The Mennonite Central Committee, and St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church Youth Program.
The Gloryland Chorus is a community non-denominational chorus and they welcome new members. Anyone interested in becoming a part of this southern gospel group can call 519-748-0334 or email info@glorylandchorus.com.
Gloryland Chorus has two CDs available online. They are also obtainable for purchase at any of their fundraising and community events, with special quantity pricing available.
The survival and resurgence of gospel music motivates this group of musical men and women into action. Gloryland Chorus share a faith and love for southern composition and they are inspired by the reaction from audiences, young and old. They are excited to spend some time in Drayton to share their gifts.
