The Matsiko World Orphan Choir is returning to Canton Center Church!!!
August 18-26, 2025
This year the group includes children (and chaperones) from Liberia and Peru.
They will be staying with us for a little over a week and performing in our sanctuary
on Saturday, August 23 at 7:00 pm
and Sunday August 24 at 2:00 pm.
In addition, they will sing during our
Sunday morning worship service.
We are looking for help during this time to support their stay. Host families are needed to house them while they are here.
You don’t have to have them for the whole time…any number of days will be great!
Yes, they can stay at the church, but staying with you makes their time here very special (and the church doesn’t have showers!). Please speak to:
Gina Magennis (860-965-2061) if you would like more information on what it’s like to host the children.
We also need help preparing meals for the group while they are here. A signup sheet is on the kitchen door and you can speak to Craig McAllister (860-379-2857) for more information on that. We will be having a potluck dinner for you to meet them, date and time to be announced at a later time.
Most importantly, come to the concerts, stay to greet them afterwards, and view the items they will have for sale after the concerts and our worship service. Please check out the mission of the choir and their news at matsiko.org.
If you would like more information about the choir’s time with us, please contact:
Linda McAllister (860-379-2857) or Martha Stansel (860-747-5344).
