HAPPY SUNDAY

This initiative transcends mere music; it embodies a movement aimed at inspiring Generation Z and Generation Alpha to encourage families to return to church. Regardless of whether one observes the Sabbath on Saturday or attends services on Sunday, the message remains unequivocal: Celebrate the day joyfully.

Any place of worship that welcomes children and families presents an ideal opportunity for unity. Adult choirs can now partner with their youth ministries or choirs to create a remarkable worship experience.

This initiative seeks to introduce a spiritual revival that endures through time. A Happy Sunday tour could serve as the revitalizing force that many churches and youth ministries are seeking. It aims to ignite enthusiasm for family and communal prayer during these challenging times. This movement of enlightenment is inclusive of all faiths.

With the exceptional songwriting and production talents of Grammy Award winner Sir the Baptist, alongside the internationally recognized Grammy-winning Soul Children, this collaboration features remarkable young talents: 2-year-old Lorde, 11-year-old Prince, 13-year-old Heir, and 13-year-old A’Mia, along with vocal talents Evvie and Terrell Carter. This partnership is poised to make a significant impact on the global community.

So, Happy Sunday… More than just a song, it is a movement.
