Rock for LICS
Lexington United Methodist Church (LUMC) hosted its first annual Rock for LICS fundraiser Thursday, November 17 at LUMC! The event was located in LUMC’s Wesley Hall and consisted of dinner, music, and dancing. The dinner was prepared by LUMC volunteers, Charles Gatch’s The Swing Set Band provided the music, and Paul Lagatore of Columbia’s Ballroom Company provided free shag lessons, adding much fun to the night. As a result, Rock for LICS increased food donations for their Thanksgiving food drive and collected close to $3,000 for Lexington Interfaith Community Services (LICS). LICS would like to thank the many people involved making this event a success! “Faith moves us to serve our neighbors in crisis.”
