Today on the show we talked about how The United We Worship Tour was recently announced. This tour is meant to help unite us this November. We also had our song poetry where one person has a chance to win a $5 gift card to Watts Restaurant!
Here is my artist news day article:
A new tour was recently announced. The ‘United We Worship’ Tour, seeks to inspire and unite us this November. As you probably know, there is something that is happening during November. Headlining the tour are Danny Gokey and Mac Powell. Also, joining them on stage will be Tasha Layton and Seph Schlueter.
So why should we care about this tour? Well, the reason is because the ‘United We Worship’ Tour promises to be an unforgettable experience, featuring powerful worship sessions, uplifting music, and a spirit of unity that will resonate long after the concerts end. The tour kicks off on November 7th in Evansville, IN, and spans several cities across the United States, concluding on November 24th in Lynchburg, VA.
The tour will be coming to Troy, Ohio on November 9th.
Every anxious thought that steals my breath It’s a heavy weight upon my chest As I lie awake and wonder what the future will hold Help me to remember that You’re in control.
