Support from PEACE
Church organist Walt Strony was moved to organize a fundraising concert for Sunday, Sept. 3, to support the work of Lutheran Disaster Response.
Hurricane Harvey hit the Gulf Coast on a Friday, and Walt brought up the idea early on the following Tuesday, after learning of Harvey’s devastation. Harvey was “the heaviest tropical downpour in U.S. history,” the Associated Press reported.
Performers at this concert of secular music included the nationally acclaimed Strony, organist and pianist Thomas Greathouse, and Peace’s pastor, the Rev. Eileen Smith Le Van playing guitar. Other musicians also came, and selections included Texas-themed music.
