Sundays@the Morton Praise Band / Outdoor Worship Service
Sunday, June 22 • 11:00 a.m. • Outdoor Stage
The Sundays @ The Morton is a contemporary praise and worship band led by guitarist and vocalist Julie Powell and featuring Seth Hendershot (drums), Chris Enghauser (bass), John Inglett (keyboards), Tyler Jefcoat (electric guitar), and occasionally Andrej Kurti (violin). Musically, the group covers the gamut but primarily plays the "standards" of contemporary rock/pop worship music similar to the playlist of the 104.7 The Fish. The band leads worship every Sunday at 11:00 a.m. in the Morton Theatre in a service sponsored by Athens First United Methodist Church.
