New to this year's Bluffton Fall Festival is a song-fest of sorts sponsored by the Bluffton Area Ministerial Association, according to Rev. Jeremy Manns, pastor or Emmanuel United Church of Christ.

"The Bluffton Area Ministerial Association (BAMA) will set up a tent on the lawn of the Presbyterian Church as a sign of our local faith communities coming together in worshiping God through song," he told the Icon.

Performances by musicians from Bluffton congregations will take place from 10 a.m. to noon.

The final half hour is be a hymn sing-along with members from BAMA congregations joining together to lead in the singing. 

"We will have drinks available for those who wish to join us in offering glory to God with music," added Mann.
