Gospel in the Park
The 15th Anniversary of the Lincoln Park Music Festival featured a “Gospel In The Park”concert. The event, hosted by Rev. Kevin E. Taylor of Unity Fellowship Church and Newark Councilwoman-at-Large Rev. Louise Scott-Rountree, brought music, praise, and fellowship to downtown Newark on July 27.
Attendees were gobsmacked by a special surprise appearance by R&B legend Valerie Simpson, one half of the iconic duo, Ashford and Simpson. She joined the Provenance Music Group onstage, blessing those in attendance with her powerful vocals.
Joyful noise from Anthony Ponder & Ministry’s Desire (APMD), Le’Andria Johnson, and the Christ Love International Church Youth Choir enthralled the thankful crowd.
