Because of people like you … people who have attended the concerts and contributed to “Pay It Forward” as we heard in the 2000 movie with the same name … the “Artist Series” we launched here at Shepherd of the Prairie Lutheran Church in Huntley in 2019 has not only survived the Covid-19 Pandemic but even thrived thanks to technology and creativity.
