On Wednesday September 5, 2007 at 6:30 p.m., Christ the King Episcopal Church, Normal, Illinois, will be privileged to host a concert by the world renowned India Children’s Choir. Please bring your family and friends to this free event.

The India Children's Choir is on a ten-month tour of the United States. They come from the hills of Manipur in North East India, along the India - Burma - China border.

Over 90 years ago, the Word of God transformed the Hmar tribe of India – from fierce headhunters into Christians and winsome Hearthunters. The India Children’s Choir is sponsored by Bibles For The World and is made up of 22 children, ages 8 to 12, who are direct descendants of those former headhunters.

How can you help?

First, please attend and bring your family and friends to this free event.

Second, please be a Christ the King (CTK) Host Family for the children and adult leaders for the nights of September 4 and 5. The choir consists of 22 children (12 girls and 10 boys, ages 8 to 12) and 5 leaders.

Third, please volunteer to help with dinners on September 4 and 5 and lunch on September 5.

Lastly, please volunteer to help with the details of publicity and set up before the event or with the event itself on September 5.

An informational and organizational, meeting is tentatively scheduled for Saturday August 18 at 9:00 a.m. Sign up sheets to volunteer will be in the parish hall soon.

To volunteer or to receive more information, please contact Rod Matthews at 618-664-7471 or rmatth7345@aol.com or Fr. Desmond at 618-454-4903.
