Shortly after enjoying a delightful lunch in Glendale, His Voice headed east for their next concert at the University Church in Loma Linda. The seventy-mile ride from Los Angeles to San Bernardino county was thankfully uneventful and His Voice arrived in time for their 2:30 PM preliminary sound-check for the 4:00 PM LLBN live telecast.

The University Church congregation recently celebrated their 80th anniversary with a complete renovation including the addition of the largest pipe organ in San Bernardino County. The sanctuary was inspiring to any visitor with its remarkable sound performance as well as lofty aesthetics, but when the concert began and the men shared their Saviour in music the warmth of witness came through in blessed recognition.
.
His Voice Director Michael Naluai opened the vespers concert directing the men in an A Capella rendition of "Holy, Holy, Holy." Later, tenors Mario and Anesio blended their voices in a spirited southern gospel duet. His Voice pianists Sonia Dias and Joyce Leal, and Karen Knight, His Voice Director of Scheduling accompanied the chorus in grand style together. The hour-long vespers concert gave His Voice a chance to share many of their favorite songs including, "Glory, Satisfied, Christ is the Rock, No More Night, and last but not least, Almighty God."

As the evening vespers came to an end, it was evident that the LLUMC theme, "Many Talents, One Mission" translated well for His Voice with its many voices and heavenly mission to "Sing God's Love and Follow His Voice.
