Mark your calendars and join us for an inspiring evening of music and community at “HARMONY FOR HOPE: A Benefit Concert Supporting FBC’s Music Ministries.”
This year’s concert will feature stunning music from talented local composers and musicians, including Nancy McCann, Dana Libonati, Brynn Moir, Doug Verigin, and Jim Pryts – the evening promises something for everyone!
Harmony of Hope is our opportunity to come together and help create a robust fund to support music ministries as we strive to continue our long standing tradition of excellence. Funds raised will help with expenses that go beyond our budget. Some examples include:
- Christmas Cantata music
- Guest musicians
- Scholarships for Linfield students
- Supplies to complete the overhaul of our music library
- Supplies and materials for bell choir
There will be a few ways to contribute:
- Suggested donation: $10 (or any amount that feels right to you).
- Cookies and Italian sodas available for purchase throughout the evening.
- Bid on silent auction items
- Enter the quilt raffle (see below)
Whether you attend in person or give online, your generosity helps us continue offering meaningful, spirit-filled music experiences in worship and beyond. We hope you’ll join us for this joy and talent-filled night!
Harmony for Hope Concert Raffle Quilt
Provided by Sew & So’s Quilting Ministry of First Baptist Church, McMinnville

Background: This Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt top, made with vintage 1950’s fabrics, was donated to FBC’s Sew & So’s quilting ministry in 2024. It was missing some flowers along the edges. Susan Chambers finished and quilted it. The back is a heathered orange flannel. The quilt measures 70” x 92” which is a large twin-size, full-size or could be a large comfy couch quilt!
TICKETS: $5 each or 5 tickets for $20
Consider buying a ticket for someone as a gift! Better yet…buy 5 raffle tickets and enter the names of 5 friends! Tickets will be sold after church on the four Sundays in May and the drawing will take place at the Harmony For Hope Concert on May 31st. Tickets can also be purchased online (www.fbcmac.org/give). Click “Give Online,” then choose “Quilt Raffle for Music Fund” in the drop down list for funds.
