The Family & Friends of Asbury & Green Chappel, Inc. is sponsoring a fundraising concert, 3 p.m., Saturday, February 21 in the cafeteria of Easton High School. The Bay Hundred Christian Men of Talbot County will perform along with the Johnson Male Chorus of Anne Arundel County, who will be the guest choir.
In 2005, Rev. K. C. Lee, the former Pastor of Royal Oak Community United Methodist Church, had a vision of bringing together men from various churches within the Bay Hundred area to spread the gospel through song. The Bay Hundred Christian Men have performed at may area churches and local events to include performing at the nursing homes. The group is made up of men from Royal Oak Community U. M. C.; St. Luke U. M. C., Bellevue; New St. John U. M. C.; Tilghman U. M. C.; Bozman-Neavitt U. M. Churches and the Easton Church of God.
The Johnson Male Chorus began in 1952 when the Pastor of Asbury Town Neck U. M. C. asked Bro. Johnson Glenn Jr. if he could get some men together to sing on a Men’s Day program. The program went so well that the Pastor and congregation asked the men if they would continue singing. Bro. Glenn called a meeting and the group was formed and named the Johnson Glenn Male Chorus.
The Chorus has travelled spreading the Gospel through song to over 450 churches in Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Kansas, North Carolina, Mississippi, and Tennessee and they have recorded four CD’s with approximately 15 original songs on them. A free will offering will be collected following the program.
The Family & Friends of Asbury & Green Chappel, Inc. is a 501 (c) 3 organization whose mission is to restore, preserve and conserve the African American Cemetery located in Bozman, MD. The group is currently trying to raise money to fence in the property. If you are unable to attend and would like to contribute, donations may be sent to P. O. Box 3241. Easton, MD 21601. Additional volunteers are also needed to serve on their Board of Directors and various subcommittees. If you are interested in joining or would like further information about the group, please email them at [email protected].
