The Newcomers will bring their singing act to Liberty Baptist Church on Friend Day.

Dave and Arvida Newcomer live in Hoagland, Indiana. Dave was born and raised in Marion, Indiana, and Arvida was born in Hutchinson, Kansas. After the loss of both of their spouses to cancer, God blessed them by uniting them in marriage nine years ago this month. Dave just retired in February from 36 years as a minister of music. Arvida is an anointed singer and has traveled many years sharing the gospel through song. One of Arvida’s highlights has been to have the honor of singing the National Anthem at a Cincinnati Red’s baseball game.
