Fourth of July service in Pablo

Contemporary Christian songwriter and recording artist, Patti Lee, will be appearing at 11 a.m. on July 4 at the Pablo Church of the Nazarene. Patty Lee, known also as Patti Lee Hessling, has completed four Christian recording projects including a Nashville CD. For that project, entitled “Here in the desert”, Patti had the privilege of working with some fantastic Nashville musicians and industry people, including Michael Smith and Associates. All her projects contain her original songs, as she loves to write. Patti Lee’s style ranges from rock to country to inspirational, depending on the venue; but her message is hope and truth. Patti has a strong desire to have a positive, spiritual impact on everyone who crosses her path and/or sees her concert. There is no charge. For more information contact 675-0081.
