This Sunday, February 25, at 11 am, the community is invited to experience a remarkable musical journey during worship as we welcome the extraordinary talent of Lasana Kanneh. Born in Liberia, Kanneh’s life story is one of triumph over adversity, marked by his incredible journey from singing for food on the war-torn streets of Liberia to captivating audiences with his unique musical talents.
Despite being born blind and facing ostracization from his community, Kanneh’s indomitable spirit and exceptional musical abilities have propelled him forward. His early recognition for music set him on a path that has led to the creation of a unique and original style that defies genre classifications. Kanneh’s music is a blend of soaring vocals, simple yet profound melodies, and killer arrangements that together create a sound that is truly special.
Kanneh’s songs are a testament to his life’s journey, encapsulating themes of faith, hope, and restoration. Through his music, he shares stories of escaping war, persecution, poverty, abuse, and personal failure, offering listeners a message of resilience and the power of faith.
The upcoming worship service promises to be an unforgettable experience, not only for those who can join in person but also for those participating online. For those unable to attend in person, the service will be streamed live at https://greaternw.zoom.us/j/98088503212, ensuring that Kanneh’s inspiring music and story can reach a broader audience.
Lasana Kanneh’s performance is more than just a musical showcase; it is an invitation to be part of a narrative that celebrates the human spirit’s capacity to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges. We look forward to welcoming community members and online attendees to join us this Sunday at 11 am for a worship service that promises to uplift, inspire, and bring us together through the power of music.
