Music Fest for Manna House - 14 May 7 pm

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Manna House, a unique transitional housing program where homeless mothers and their children live together, learning to break the welfare cycle.  First Presbyterian was one of the founders of Manna House in 1986.

For 15 years, Music Fest, an interdenominational music festival, has raised money for Manna House, and First Presbyterian has participated.  This benefit concert is organized by volunteers and all of the funds raised to directly to Manna House.  The Independent ran the press release in its April 28th Bulletin Board stating:

This year’s participants include First Presbyterian Church, Matawan; Cross of Glory Lutheran Church, Aberdeen; St. Benedict Catholic Church, Holmdel; St John’s United Methodist Church, Hazlet; New Light Baptist Church, Keyport; and Gethsemane Lutheran Church, Keyport.
