Host Homes Needed!
On June 23rd, the BIG Big Band from Sweden will be performing at the Santa Ynez Valley Presbyterian Church as part of their final US tour.  They are a world renowned Big Band that has been together for over 60 years and have performed all over the world.  One of the greatest needs is housing for the band members for just one night.  The band consists of high school and college students and professionals from doctors to teachers.  Community members are needed to provide rides to one or two band members to their house after the concert, provide a breakfast and sack lunch for their trip to Orange County the following day and drop them off at Bethania Lutheran Church by 9 am the next morning.  We are also offering any hosts reserved seating for the concert, which is sure to be an amazing musical performance!
If you are able to host, please contact Pastor Chris Brown at pastor@bethanialutheran.net and let him know how many members you can host. Your help makes this concert possible!
THANK YOU!
