Crescent Hill Baptist Church
2800 Frankfort Avenue

Carrie Newcomer has been described as “a soaring songstress” by Billboard, a “prairie mystic by the Boston Globe and Rolling Stone wrote that she “asks all the right questions.” One of the definitive voices of the heartland, Newcomer has attracted a devoted following with her warm voice, exquisite melodies, and spiritual view of the world. Newcomer has lent her voice and her songs to many causes and collaborated with Parker Palmer, Scott Russell Sanders, Barbara Kingsolver and others. On October 18th, Carrie Newcomer will sing in support of two Louisville organizations: one that serves locally and one that serves communities globally.
MedWater is a Louisville non-profit organization that is collaborating with global health organizations with established relationships in the Ecuadorian Amazon. MedWater works directly within communities to build their understanding of the need for safe water and helps them learn the skills to sustain it. As understanding about safe water grows, the whole community will become active participants in the collaboration. The outcome is significantly improved and sustainable community health.

United Crescent Hill Ministries is a community ministry for Crescent Hill, Clifton, Clifton Heights, and Butchertown. The ministry serves these communities with a wide range of services that include: emergency financial assistance, Dare to Care food, youth programming and homework assistance, Meals on Wheels, health prevention services, senior citizen meals and activities, including trips. UCHM is celebrating its 40th Anniversary this year.

Tickets for this benefit concert are $20.00 and can be purchased at the church office on 2800 Frankfort Avenue, by phone at 896-4425, or through the church website at www.chbcky.org.
