The choir will present a dress-to impress fashion show and sing to lift up the name of Jesus. Special guests will be The Angelic Dancers for God, Steadfast Apostolic Youth Choir and Step Team, Union Chapel Baptist Church Youth Ensemble and Piney Grove Youth Choir. Tim Jackson (97.1 FM Radio) will be the master of ceremonies. Admission is free. For more information, call Pastor Melvin "Rip" Wilkins Sr. or Sister Paulette Jeter at (336) 744-7924. Wilkins founded The Commu nity Outreach Choir. He was doing crusades and outreach in the Win ston-Salem Housing Authority communities and other problem areas, looking at youths on the blocks, in the streets and youths with problems. God gave him a vision that was about to come true. These youths came from all types of backgrounds. Some said they wouldn't make it, but God had shown Wilkins that something good could come out of these areas When the choir first started seven years ago,-it had almost 64 youths and a few parents partici pating. Now most of the parents participate or are in church some where. The kids are special because they wanted to be somebody in Jesus Christ. These youths are from 4 to 16 years old. Singing is not the only thing stressed in the choir, also stressed are attitude, love, unity, education and a strong Bible study with help from Evangelist Yvonne Jefferson, the choir overseer, Minis ter Jarion Hamm, minister of music; Sis. Demetris Jeter, choir directress; and Vanessa Little, pres ident. The choir is moving to a new level. The Community Outreach Choir and the PEJ Ensemble have recorded a CD called "Unity," which has not been signed or dis tributed. These youths are ministers. They love singing and showing love. If people could only hear the testi monies about these youths, they would change a lot of lives. These youths take pride in per forming for God. Some people thought organiz ers were just baby-sitting when the group started, but now the babies have grown up to be God's Little Angels. The choir has done con certs in Winston-Salem, High Point, Greensboro, South Carolina and Virginia. The choir does cru sades in and out of the Triad area. The choir's motto is, "We are some body in Jesus Christ." ? This summer the choir will do crusades, concerts and street min istry to minister to the youths who ydon't have Christ in their lives and also to let them know that they have to trust in Jesus to carry them through, and that the devil is trying to destroy them. Youths that come together in prayer will change.
