The First Presbyterian church invites Great Bend and Barton County communities to a “Music for Mission” concert which will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 30,  in the First Presbyterian Church sanctuary, 24th and Washington. A variety of instrumental and vocal musical groups representing a diverse make-up of churches located in Great Bend will join together for an afternoon of musical praise to God.
