The Dunneman’s will be performing at the First Community Congregational Church on Sunday, Feb. 19, at 4 p.m. The church is located at 200 E. Leeland Heights Blvd.

Following the concert, the First Community Congregatioal Church will be having a free spaghetti dinner at 5:30 p.m.

Classically-trained soprano Gretchen Dunneman and piano-playing southern gospel lead singer Reg Dunneman blend their talents and voices in a wonderful variety of music that lifts the name of Jesus.

History is filled with tales of traveling musicians. In the Middle Ages the minstrel was a primary means of spreading news from far lands.

The Dunnemans, Reg and Gretchen, aren’t medieval minstrels, but they bring a message from a land that is as far as the end of the earth and near as your heart–the message of hope in Jesus Christ.

Reg starting singing for the Lord when he was 4. In his teens he organized The Victors Trio, and in his 20s The Tabernacle Trio, both based in Ontario. The next 20 years saw him singing and playing with Canada’s Galileans.

Gretchen began singing for the Lord when she was 9 years old. She was active in school, church, college and community choirs, and sang with The Friendship Trio in Montrose, PA for 15 years.

Since their marriage in 1992, The Dunnemans have together given their hearts, talents, and repertoires to the Lord and He has blessed their efforts. The ministry became full time in 2002 and was recognized as a non-profit ministry in 2006.

Traditional hymns, church standards, classical, southern gospel, spirituals, contemporary, country, swing, bluegrass – almost everything but Christian punk.

Everyone is invited to attend. A free will offering will be available at the door. You may also visit their website at: thedunnemans@juno.com.

The concert and dinner is open to the public.

“We have had the Dunneman’s before and they have come back by popular demand. They are so talented and so versatile, I hope everyone comes out to hear their music. They have such a wide variety. It is secular and sacred,” the Rev. Deb said. “The people have said they really enjoy their bluegrass, spirituals and traditional music. Me? I love it all, even the country.”
