Members and friends of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in American Samoa gathered for an evening of beautiful music about Jesus Christ on Palm Sunday, 24 March.
Over 1,500 members and friends of the Church gathered at Mapusaga meetinghouse to enjoy an evening filled with sacred music from eight choirs singing about the ministry of Jesus Christ and His love for all.
The choirs were all dressed in white and sang with smiles and joy. One choir member, Maylene Auapaau, said, “It was an uplifting experience for our family to practice for this event by singing ‘Beautiful Savior’ together.”
