First Christian Church of Elizabethton is happy to announce a fundraising concert to benefit Restore Ukraine, a local nonprofit dedicated to humanitarian aid.

“We became aware of the dire needs of the Ukrainian people after war flared in Europe again over a year ago,” church officials said. “But we were uncertain how we could help.”

After meeting Yaro Hnatusko, Executive Director for Restore Ukraine, the church is getting directly involved in helping those impacted by war.

From rebuilding homes to providing essential goods to residents throughout war-torn Kharkiv, Restore Ukraine has been leading local relief efforts in one of the most bombed cities in the country.

“From the outset, there have been two primary goals in hosting this concert,” church officials said. “We want to provide a means by which the community can join in the fight to help our Ukrainian brothers and sisters as their lives have been forever changed. When our families and friends come together to enjoy the talent being shared, we can also share in helping those in need.” And as always, our goal in all that we do is to bring glory and honor to our loving Heavenly Father. It is our prayer that in this effort, both of these goals will be met in accordance with Ephesians 3:20 – “Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever, Amen!”

The concert, titled “A Night of Praise & Caring,” will begin at 6 p.m. Sunday, March 26 at 513 Hattie Avenue in Elizabethton, Tennessee.

Attendees will hear from performers from all walks of life:

• Pianist Scott Reynolds
• ‘Basic’ community choir
• Lifted ft. Fred Goodwin, Tony Rominger, Loretta Bowers, Pat Kelly, and Howard Bloom
• Polish pianist Jeremi Lukanus.
