The Kevin Prater Band will be our special musical guests in worship at the 9:30 service on Sunday, August 17. Formed in 2007 in Kentucky, the band grew from bluegrass and gospel music traditions, featuring five members who sing and play a variety of stringed instruments, including guitar, mandolin, banjo, violin, and bass. We are thankful for an anonymous donation which is sponsoring the band's appearance in celebration of the connection between Stonybrook and Appalachia through our decades of service with ASP.

Please bring a side dish or dessert to share - burgers, hot dogs, drinks and paper products will be provided, and there will be plenty of time to renew acquaintances and meet new faces.
