A Pullman church is planning a concert this weekend to raise money for World Relief Spokane.

The event will include music by musicians who were once refugees in their time. Other performances will focus on the concert’s theme of social justice. Another concert highlight is a a 14-piece string orchestra performance.

Refreshments will also be served.

Tickets are available at the door  or at Neill’s Flowers and Gifts in Pullman and BookPeople of Moscow.
