Interfaith Assistance Ministry is presenting its ninth Annual Warmth of Home Concert at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 5, at the Flat Rock Playhouse Downtown to raise money for heating assistance for needy families.

“With the prediction of extra cold winter weather and rising heating oil prices, we anticipate that Interfaith Assistance Ministry will help hundreds of struggling Henderson County families with their power and heating fuel bills this winter,” said Elizabeth Willson Moss, executive director of Interfaith Assistance Ministry. “By attending or helping to sponsor our Warmth of Home concert November 5th, you will literally be helping area residents – children and adults – survive.”

IAM thanked the musicians who are donating their time and considerable talents to the Warmth of Home concert. Appalachian Fire includes Dwayne “Doc” Durham, Cliff Searcy, Tim “Pappy” Francis, Jim Fox and Bill McDonald. Greensboro-based Rachel & Co. features singer Rachel Snow and keyboardist Willson Moss, who frequently music directs and plays and sings in Flat Rock Playhouse downtown shows. Also performing is Kyra Hewitt, an 11-year-old Flat Rock Playhouse actress and singer.

Willson Moss and Rachel Snow will perform at the Warmth of Home concert.“We appreciate our compassionate and generous sponsors, the Flat Rock Playhouse, Chuck and Jean McGrady, Horizon Heating & Air, Southern Alarm and the Hendersonville Lightning,” Moss said. “We hope our caring community will join us for a memorable evening of music, food and the warmth of giving back.”

Besides live music, the event includes a raffle and reception with heavy hors d'oeuvres. Tickets are $35 per person. To purchase tickets or for information on sponsoring the event, call Interfaith Assistance Ministry at 828-697-7029 or visit www.iamhendersoncounty.org.
