Numerous Pella residents are organizing a worship event that will take place in the state’s capital this week.

Josh DeWaard says the third annual Unite Midwest event will be held in HyVee Hall in Des Moines on Friday, July 28th at 7 p.m. DeWaard tells KNIA/KRLS News the evening will be spent with Bethel Music, who will lead the crowd in prayer through song. Proceeds from the event help college and high school students attend an annual worship festival in Atlanta each winter.
