LICF GospelChoir sings at TDOR

The LICF Gospel Choir was honored to participate in the TDOR (Transgender Day of Remembrance).

On Sunday, November 20th the beautiful Zion Reformed Temple of Bay Shore opened its doors wide to the LGBT community to Celebrate the lives, realize the tragedies and mourn the loss of 20 brave human beings.

Their lives were cut short (sometimes brutally) right here in America and across the globe in the last year, simply because their bodies developed in a way contradictory to their beings.

The choir delivered the message that we should look to God for answers to the hate, receive strength to survive, and understanding of and for the victims. We were proud to represent Our GOD, and “our church”.

We appreciate the honor and opportunity to witness afforded us by the Long Island TDOR Committee.

We also proudly stood beside our sister Barbara, (and our brother Jeff) to support them in this cause that means so much to us. We applaud the hard work Barbara and the entire Long Island TDOR committee did to make this the important and meaningful service it was.

LICF Gospel Choir Performs at GLBT Arts Festival

LICF’s Gospel Choir rounded out the roster of fabulous entertainment showcased at LICF’s first GLBT Arts Festival. This event, a brainchild of our late Pastor Shane Hibbs, was a very successful event held at Stuart Thomas Manor in Farmingdale, NY on September 25th. The day’s long event opended with LI Gay Men’s Chorus. Other performers included a cabaret singer, an all women rock band and a male song stylist among others.

Our Gospel Choir extended their set of three songs to six at the last minute to cover a last minute performer cancellation. Our choir rose to the challenge and sang beautifully, even being called back for an encore! Pastor Shane would have been proud at the job well done.

In addition to the Pastor’s paintings, a variety of other GLBT artists showed their wares. There were painters, photographers, ceramics, hand-painted clothing, jewelry and crafts. The artists and their work are a testament to the talent and beauty added to the world by our GLBT community.

Largely due to the success of this festival, it is going to be an annual event, with our Choir continuing to be a large part of the day’s event.

Choir Performs on Stage

by Joe Fiore Jr. – “Choir Member Extraordinaire”

The choir was the first act to perform at the Pride Festval in Huntington on June 13th. What a thrill it was to stand in front of thousands of GLBT Long Islanders and sing. You could see the people turn, one-by-one and face the stage to listen to the wonderful sound of our choir.What a great feeling it was to worship for the Lord at this event. The comments afterward, reflected the sentiment that we felt as we poured our hearts into our

music. People were telling us that we sounded great, were very professional and that the people would have loved to hear a couple more songs. Pastor Shane’s leadership and our members practicing paid off.

It was strange to hang out backstage with the other performers in the show. The band singers shared dressing tables with the drag queens, fighting for room to put on their make-up. And it was hard to stay focused on our ministry while listenting to the blare of “It’s Raining Men” on the park’s sound system. Oh well, welcome to show biz’.

Thanks to the Pride Parade Committee for approving us and our song selection. I hope that we are asked to sing again in the years to come.
