GENTRI: The Gentlemen trio was established in June 2014 and is comprised of three highly trained tenors: Brad Robins, Casey Elliott and Bradley Quinn Lever. Pioneering a signature sound that can only be described as “Cinematic Pop,” the music of GENTRI is transfused with lush, epic orchestrations and rich, dynamic three-part harmonies all composed by the group’s producer Stephen Nelson. Critics have called GENTRI’s sound “strong, brave, and inspiring” as well as “anything but boring.” GENTRI has performed alongside world-renowned talent, including international tenor sensation Alfie Boe, Tony Award-winning vocalist Idina Menzel, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and legendary rock band Journey. Other notable events include performing at the Governor of Utah’s annual gala, as well as performing the national anthem for the Utah Jazz, San Diego Padres, and Colorado Rockies. GENTRI also was recently featured on an EmmyAward-Winning television Christmas special with YouTube sensation Lexi Walker that was broadcast to over 20 million homes. No tickets required. A love offering will be received. Christmas is a time of loneliness, sorrow, alienation and sadness for many. If your heart is hurting because of grief, illness, broken relationships, loss of a job or one of many other reasons to feel more darkness than light during this season, this service is for you. Come to our Longest Night Service for meaningful worship that acknowledges the hurt and hollowness you may be feeling and also allows you to experience the comfort and compassion of our loving God in the midst of it all. “The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.” – JOHN 1:5 Wednesday, December 20 5:30PM in the Chapel Gentri: The Gentlemen Trio Sunday, December 17 3:00PM Celebrate the season with Women’s Hope Tuesday, December 19 from 5:00-7:00pm in the Family Life Center at 820 Stage Rd.
