Reverend Ian Lindsay said in what sometimes seemed a hopeless world, “music and song have long been a source of comfort and solace for soul”.

“They have the ability to evoke emotions and soothe the soul,” he said.

“Singing with others can foster a sense of connection and belonging, which can help reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness.

“Research shows that music and singing can have a profound impact on our overall wellbeing and can be just good fun together with others.

“With this in mind, All Saints Anglican Church invites you to our Songs of Hope concert and community sing-along.

“A variety of songs, both new and old, all with a theme of hope will be performed by the Soul Song Choir, Trinity Anglican School and the Mulgrave Ukulele Group.”

Admission is by way of gold coin donation with proceeds benefiting the local Gordonvale School chaplain who plays an important role in bringing hope to local children and young adults.

Numbers are capped so RSVP to allsaintsgordonvale@gmail.com by July 18.

The concert is on Sunday, July 20 at All Saints Anglican Church, Gordonvale, at 5pm.
