This show includes all CGHS concert, symphonic, and show choirs, featuring the national award winning

What is PROJECT H20? Every year, thousands of people die from preventable diseases caused by the lack of simple, clean drinking water. The

Grove wants to do their part in putting a stop to this horrible tragedy…and you can help.

Pastor Tony Johnson’s church, The Grove, has partnered with Incredible Pizza Company this Christmas. They will be

selling $10 game cards at Incredible Pizza Company with 50% of the profits going toward Project H20. You may purchase

these cards in the office at Maple Grove. You can help a good cause and entertain your family during Holiday Break!!
