In honor of International Credit Union Day, the Credit Unions of Jamaica will host a free gospel concert titled *Praise in the Park* on Thursday, October 16, at Emancipation Park in New Kingston. The event, now in its third year, aims to celebrate the global observance of International Credit Union Day, which falls on the third Thursday of October annually. The concert will feature renowned gospel acts such as Levy’s Heritage, Johnmark Wiggan, Petra Kaye, Genesis Praise Squad, and Carey Sayles, promising an evening of worship and praise. Katrina Grant D’Aguilar, Group Marketing and Communications Manager for the Jamaica Co-operative Credit Union League Ltd, emphasized that the event serves as a thanksgiving initiative, expressing gratitude to members, non-members, and the broader community for their unwavering support and trust in the credit union movement. She highlighted the event’s alignment with the credit union philosophy of ‘People Helping People,’ underscoring the power of community unity in achieving remarkable outcomes. This year’s concert is expected to surpass previous editions in both reach and impact, with a stellar lineup of Jamaica’s most celebrated gospel artists. Attendees can anticipate dynamic live band performances, uplifting musical ministry, and moments of communal worship. Additionally, the event will feature special outreach initiatives, including a soup kitchen for elders sponsored by CUNA Caribbean. For those unable to attend in person, the concert will be live-streamed via Sora Media on the Credit Unions of Jamaica YouTube channel, with coverage by Caribbean Gospel TV and the Public Broadcasting Corporation of Jamaica (PBCJ). Highlights will also be shared across the Credit Unions’ social media platforms. Oshin Levy of the award-winning gospel trio Levy’s Heritage shared that attendees can look forward to a spirit-filled performance, featuring both beloved classics and new tracks, as the group prepares for their 20th-anniversary celebration in November.
