United Voices of Christ celebrates 18th anniversary
Thursday, November 05, 2009Get ready to stomp, clap and shout with South Carolina State University's United Voices of Christ gospel choir as it celebrates its 18th anniversary.
The event will take place at 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 8, in the Martin Luther King Jr. Auditorium on the campus of S.C. State. This year's theme is "In the Presence of Royalty."
The three-time award-winning gospel choir was founded on Nov. 4, 1991, by Vanessa Williams, Derek Evans and Kenneth Windham. UVOC was created by the members of the choir who had a yearning desire to unite S.C. State students as "One Body in Christ."
The choir consists of more than 60 students who are active members dedicated to ministering and praising God through songs of Zion. The UVOC gospel choir travels throughout the state and abroad, spreading the word of God and winning souls for Christ while ministering through song and dance.
Choirs also participating in the anniversary celebration include those from Savannah State University in Savannah, Ga., and Irmo High School in Columbia.
The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call Cora Calloway at 803-536-7057.
