🎶 HOPE BEYOND BORDERS
Community Choir Invitation Packet
🌟 Overview
You are warmly invited to participate in a unique community experience:
a Hope Beyond Borders concert featuring a collaborative Community Choir.
This event brings together music, storytelling, and shared reflection to celebrate connection, compassion, and our shared humanity.
As part of the experience, local singers are invited to learn and perform one or two original songs—“Hope Beyond Borders” and “Together We”—joining singer-songwriter Jerry Leggett for a live performance.
No prior connection to the project is needed—just a willingness to be part of something meaningful.
