Each year we present two major fund raising activities as a component to our annual fund raising campaign. These activities will be in the form of a concert and or a musical production. Other activities will include community outreach and/or collaborative activities with other religious, educational, and/or community organizations.

Bi-annual fund raising performances; spring and fall. Rehearsals and preparation are ongoing. The percentage of time needed to prepare for these events is estimated at 60-65%; which will include, rehearsals, meetings and fundraising.

The bi-annual events will be for the purpose of raising operational funds as well as funds needed to activate and/or maintain community outreach programs as set in the organizational goals. These events will be conducted by the members of Follow Hymn Music Ministries, Inc. Our first event took place on 9/20-21/2002 at Zion Baptist Church, Lynn, MA.
