New Come-Unity Christian Festival for Wolverhampton park
Uplifting music, comedy and food will be among the attractions at a new family festival being launched in the Black Country.
The free Come-Unity Christian Festival will be held in Bilston's Hickman Park on July 3 in place of a summer convention normally held in the town.
Organisers at the New Testament Church of God, in Wellington Road, say the new community event which will run from midday to 7pm and will feature fun day activities, food stands as well as time for worship and guest speakers.
Attractions include gospel rappers Dee Shy and Alexander Bean, the Black Country Community Gospel Choir, DJ Arthur Ellis, Walsall group Divine, inspirational speakers including founder of Gospel Grenades and evangelist Andrew Cannon and former Blues player Ricky Otto, now of ARC Birmingham Church, who will share their captivating stories.
The line-up of speakers, performers and entertainers have been confirmed.
In addition to talks and gospel music there will be performances by comedian Patrick Medley and his alter-ego ‘Bishop Shacklefoot’ , poet Ashlee Paris-Jabang, inflatables, a photo booth, face painting plus information stalls.
Event director Bishop Albert Watson says: “Ordinarily we would have held our annual convention indoors, but given the past two years which has seen many people experience great loss, isolation and separation, we felt the time was right to organise a new, community-focused event to help us celebrate life, share the gospel and connect with those in our neighbouring areas and across the West Midlands.”
