Drayton Reformed Church will host the The Men of Praise and The Men of Note Male Voice Choir on April 12.
This will be the second annual Stand in the Gap Benefit Concert and Dessert Social for Countryside Camp and Conference Centre, the summer home of “Camp Shalom.”
Countryside Camp and Conference Centre is the largest residential Christian Summer Camp and Retreat Facility in the Waterloo region serving close to 700 summer campers, including 150 individuals with special needs and over 4,000 retreat guests annually.
Stand in the Gap is a cooperative initiative that has annually connected dozens of churches and organizations, able to identify 90 marginalized children, and youth and individuals with special needs for the opportunity to attend “Camp Shalom” at a reduced cost. Since its inception in 2010, 317 campers and guests have been afforded this opportunity.
The Men of Praise is an interdenominational male choir based in Woodstock. The choir has participated in many benefit concerts throughout southern Ontario.
Lois Goodall is their organist, Peter Schepers is their pianist, and Randall Rehkopf serves as the director.
The Men of Note Male Voice Choir from Stouffville, have been performing for the last 15 years. The 40-member choir is directed by Oksana Vignan and accompanied by Courtney Britton.
