Gospel Music Festival Graces Kings Park Aug. 13

NEWPORT, RI—Kings Park on Wellington Avenue is the place to be on Aug. 13 for a celebration of gospel music.

The Come Alive Gospel Music Fest celebrates it's fifth anniversary at the park with music from soloist Kenneth Robinson and the Community Baptist Church Gospel Choir of Newport.

There will also be performances by the Brockton Teen Challenge Choir and Lorena Grace with the Evangelical Friends Church Newport Worship Team.

“For five years we have successfully brought amazing performances to the waterfront to share the joy of Gospel music,” said event producer Eileen Daffron. “There is no fee to attend this festival and parking is plentiful. We have families bringing their lawn chairs and picnic baskets joining us for this afternoon event. It’s an amazing time of community and fellowship on the banks of Newport Harbor.”

Event speakers will include host Senior Pastor Paul Hoffman from EFC Newport, the 2016 Gospel Music Fest Sponsor, as well as Oscar Cruz, Director of the Teen Challenge Brockton Men’s Campus.

The Come Alive Gospel Music Fest will include a children’s tent, giveaway table and prayer partners from participating churches EFC Newport, Community Baptist Church Newport, Crosspoint Church Newport and Graceway Church Middletown.

The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., rain or shine.
