While the second LYRICS FOR A CAUSE didn't happen in March as planned due to COVID-19 shutdowns, talented young performers joyfully sang in a virtual cabaret held Friday night live from their own homes. The cabaret, which was hosted by Spotlight Kidz (Pottsville, PA), was a benefit event for the Malignant Hyperthermia Association of the United States (MHAUS).

The second LYRICS FOR A CAUSE will be held tomorrow and will have a different look as talented performers with broadway and national tour credentials, as well as other very talented youth, spread holiday joy in this virtual cabaret as they raise money for the Malignant Hyperthermia Association of the United States (MHAUS).

Together at the Table: Diversity without Division in The United Methodist Church traces Oliveto's ministry from a small church in rural New York where she lived fearfully in the closet with her partner, to the Pacific School of Religion where she counseled students seeking more welcoming denominations, to Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco where thousands of marginalized men and women joined her in worship every Sunday.
