Founded in 2000 to bring people of different races together, Shades of Praise has as it mission to perform contemporary gospel music in the African-American style and to introduce gospel to wider audiences across racial and denominational boundaries. Under the leadership Dwight Fitch, they perform at local churches, Christmas concerts, civic events, fundraisers and area festivals, all with the goal of ministering to each other and the community through song.

Selections will include Thank You, Lord for All You’ve Done for Me, Alpha and Omega, Shackles, and Jesus Brought Me Out (Now I’m on My Way).

The Third Sunday Concert Series, now in its 34th year, is an outreach of Christ Episcopal Church, Covington. The one-hour concerts are free and open to the public and are followed by a reception with refreshments in the Parish Hall for the performers and audience.
