Aunt Pearlie Sue and the Gullah Kinfolk will deliver their Gullah singing, dancing and storytelling in Mt. Moriah Baptist Church in Spartanburg, SC, to support the Angel Charge Ministry Sunday, December 14, 2014 at 6:00 PM .

Angels Charge Ministry helps women rebuild their lives without condemning or judging them. It is based on Psalm 91 referring to God’s angels watching over and helping others. Since April, weekly Bible sessions involving praise services and prayer requests are held for women at the Spartanburg County Detention Center.

Nannie Jefferies, executive director of the ministry and pastor of Maranatha Free Church of Jesus Christ, 350 Garner Road, organized the program and is expanding it to help women once they are released from jail.

“The idea is to look at why these women continue to have a life of incarceration and what it will take to stop it,” Jefferies said. “We know the program is not for everyone, but it is for those who want to be whole. This program also deals with restoring their lives.”

Aunt Pearlie Sue and the Gullah Kinfolk are the most exciting musical sensation ever to come from the South Carolina Sea Islands. Virtually all related, the closeness of this dynamic group is apparent from the first song. Audiences nationwide have been mesmerized by their unique style, memorable performances and uplifting renditions of their historical repertoire. The group was formed by Anita Singleton-Prather; best known for her beloved character Aunt Pearlie Sue, in an effort to preserve Gullah history and the Gullah dialect. A performance by the Gullah Kinfolk is a rare treat that will be remembered for a lifetime.

Tickets for the event are $10 for adults and $5 for students.  For more information and to purchase tickets contact Nannie Jeffries at 863-529-5472 or nanniejeffries@yahoo.com.
