So what is “Watoto?” It is the Swahili word for children.   The name was “adopted” by missionaries Gary and Marilyn Skinner who planted a thriving, community-focused church in Kampala, Uganda in 1984.

Their choir has grown a great deal since 1984, and now includes traveling children’s choirs to help spread the word and help raise funds for the ministry. One of these choirs (17 children, ages 7 to 13, and 11 adults) will visit us! Mark your calendars for Wednesday, February 6. They will present a 60-75 minute concert in the Trinity United Methodist Church sanctuary starting at 6:30 p.m.
