This weekend gospel choirs from six Michigan colleges and universities will
raise their combined voices at a free praise and worship concert at Calvin
College.
The concert - featuring choirs from Calvin, Grand Valley State University
(GVSU), Hope College, Ferris State University, Western Michigan University and
the University of Detroit-Mercy - will take place at 6 pm on Saturday, November
5 in the Fine Arts Center at Calvin (doors will open at 5 pm).
"My idea is to bring as many colleges as possible together to worship in one
place," says Jermale Eddie, project coordinator for Calvin's multicultural
student development office, which is sponsoring the event along with the Calvin
Institute of Christian Worship, the college's Student Activities Office and the
Lake Michigan Credit Union.
Eddie, himself a former tenor in the GVSU choir, coordinated the multi-choir
concert last year at his home church, New Hope Baptist, working with his friend
Wesley Morgan (also a former GVSU tenor), and the two joined forces to plan
this year's event as well.
"Last year was standing room only," says Eddie.
