On Easter weekend the Chicago Mass Choir ignited the holiday celebration at Friendship Baptist Church. Mike Huggins has organized group trips to Chicago, DC, and other neighboring states for affordable leisure travel. He decided for the holiday to reverse the travel expenses back into Toledo with an empowering Easter celebration.
The Chicago Mass Choir quickly rose to prominence with their powerful blend of traditional gospel and contemporary praise, gaining national attention through recordings and appearances on major gospel platforms.
Reaching beyond the church walls the choir has appeared on programs such as BET’s Bobby Jones Gospel, Windy City Live, and the national Allstate Gospel Super Fest, They became especially known for original songs like “I Will Bless the Lord,” “He’s My All and All,” and “God Is My Everything,” which helped define their signature sound. The Chicago Mass Choir has maintained an active touring presence for over two decades and continues to travel to support faith-based initiatives.
Proceeds from the performance were to benefit the Friendship Baptist Church that is under the leadership of Senior Pastor Bishop Duane C. Tisdale and alongside First Lady Thelma Tisdale. The church continues to expand its mission of faith, fellowship and service. Their dedication to empowering the community made the Easter weekend celebration not only a musical event, but a meaningful opportunity to support the church’s ongoing ministries.
