First Baptist Church of Decatur

Decatur Civic Chorus is hosting a community sing-along in celebration of World Singing Day. It’s a global event held every year on the 3rd Saturday in October. It serves as an opportunity to celebrate our global family through the international language of music.

This year, the theme song is a mashup of “We Are the World” by USA for Africa and “Imagine” by John Lennon. The global theme for 2024 is mental health. Licensed Professional Counselor, Claudia Calderon, will share insight on the importance of caring for mental health and provide information on available resources in the community.

The event is open to everyone, regardless of musical ability, and is designed to be a joyful community experience. Song sheets will be provided, so all can participate.

Bring a lawn chair and join in the fun of this sing-along, which will last about an hour.
