Come to the Neighborhood BBQ and Music Festival

by Red Mountain United Methodist Church March 4, 2014
written by Red Mountain United Methodist Church March 4, 2014

bbq_sandwichThe annual Neighborhood BBQ and Music Festival, at Red Mountain United Methodist Church, in Northeast Mesa, takes place on Sunday, March 30, from noon to 2 p.m.

So, save the date to join your friends and family for great food, a variety of live music and activities for every age.

“This is our gift to the community,” explained Senior Pastor Mary Bullis. “It will be a fun-filled day, and is free to all our guests.”

The picnic-style lunch, from Waldo’s BBQ, will include BBQ sandwiches, hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, cowboy beans, coleslaw, potato chips, beverages and desserts.

JR McAlexander, executive director of Showtune Productions, and organist/keyboardist at the church, has put together a special musical program for the afternoon. JR was widely known as the musical director for the Broadway Palm Theater for 11 years. He has directed musical shows throughout the U.S., and promises that everyone at the BBQ will enjoy An Afternoon with Mitzi Smith, which will take place in the tent behind the church.

Mitzi, accompanied by a four- to five-piece band, will be singing two 45-minute sets, beginning at noon. Her repertoire includes well-known pieces from Motown, Etta James, Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin, as well as Broadway and Gospel selections. Mitzi, who has been singing since she was a little girl, has performed in many venues across the U.S., and was once a backup singer for Elton John.

Other music throughout the afternoon will feature Margie Mays, an accomplished steel guitarist. Margie has performed in England and throughout the U.S., and was part of the opening band for the Gatlin Brothers. She will display her many talents as part of a guitar and vocal trio, featuring John Park and Mike Wooton, as they perform both Christian and old-style country music. Jim Moses, well-known acoustic guitarist and vocalist, will perform folk music and ballads on the patio.

Bounce houses, face painting and children’s games will be featured throughout the campus, and youth and adults can enjoy playing volleyball on the sand court. Karaoke for all ages is another big hit.

More information is available by calling Red Mountain United Methodist Church at (480) 981-3833, or by visiting the Web site at www.rmumc.com. The church is located just north of McDowell Road, on the west side of Power Road.
