Church sets Southern gospel concert

ValleyView Alliance Church, 200 Alliance Ave., Hellam, will host a concert by Southern gospel group Keystone State Quartet on Sunday, Feb. 16, at 10:15 a.m.

With more than 60 years of experience between the four members, Keystone has been bringing its close harmonies to churches across Pennsylvania, as well as West Virginia and Maryland. The concert will feature a variety of Southern gospel music from both present and past recordings and will focus on praising the name of Jesus.

The quartet's members are soprano and alto Julie Sloan of Ebensburg; lead and baritone Tom Winger of Chambersburg; bass Jordan Bachman of Dickenson, N.D.; and lead to tenor Kim Abel. Abel was born and lives in the York area, and he was exposed to Southern gospel music as a boy. His late father, Charles Abel, played the clarinet and saxophone, and his mother, Delores Abel, plays the organ and piano. His parents were involved in area music activities and began attending ValleyView Alliance Church many years ago.

A freewill offering will be received for the quartet. For more information, visit http://www.valleyviewcma.org or http://www.keystonestatequartet.net.
