Kurtz has been touring and singing for nearly 20 years. She speaks about love, God, parenting, heartbreak and her infectious laugh is peppered throughout her concerts.

Her songs are rife with emotion and can make you get up and dance. Whether she is singing in a bar or church, her voice can cut through the noise and gives the listener a place to rest.

She has sung at the last six ELCA National Youth Gatherings and her song “Make a Difference” is sung nationwide on any given Sunday.

Beaver Lutheran Church is located on Route 522 between Beavertown and Beaver Springs. A free-will offering will be taken to benefit the youth who will be attending next year’s Youth Gathering in Minneapolis.-
