\"Laura<\/a>(Sherrill, NY \u2013 Oct. 2013) National Christian recording artist\u00a0Laura Hawthorne will be performing at the Christ Church Community Coffee House in Sherrill at\u00a07 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 18.<\/p>\n

Hawthorne will be\u00a0featuring songs from her new album, \u201cln the Garden,\u201d which was released in September 2013.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Co-written with Dove Award winning writer producer Don Koch, the album includes her debut single -\u201cOver Everything\u201d – which is receiving considerable airplay on Christian radio stations throughout the U.S.\u00a0 She also released a music video \u2013 \u201cOver Everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hawthorne performs throughout the Northeast and recently completed\u00a0the All Access RV Tour with fellow recording artists: Kelsi Craig, Eliot Sloan (Blessid Union of Souls), Brandy Allison & Savannah Moon.\u00a0\u00a0 The tour covered eight states in five days and interviews were held at 15 radio stations.<\/p>\n

Christ Church United Methodist is located at 417 Park St., Sherrill.\u00a0 Refreshments will be served.\u00a0 The coffee house is open to the community. A free will offering will be accepted.\u00a0 Children as well as adults are welcome.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the Garden,\u201d attempts to bring her listeners to a place of total surrender and intimacy with Jesus Christ. \u201cIn the Garden\u201d truly represents the intimate season I had with the Lord throughout the making of this album,\u201d Hawthorne states.\u00a0 \u201cI had no idea that our remake of this ever-popular hymn would become so dear to my heart. The music video beautifully portrays finding God\u2019s peace in the midst of our everyday trials.\u00a0 My prayer for every listener is that this song takes them into their own personal garden with the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n

Born in Wilmington, Delaware, Hawthorne knew at the age of 5 that she wanted to become a professional recording artist. At 16, she gave her heart to the Lord during a crusade in her hometown, but never became grounded in the Word and continued to seek her own path. Eventually, Laura moved to New York City to pursue a recording career. Her call to ministry came after her younger brother, Jay, became a ventilator dependent quadriplegic due to a tragic construction accident in 2000. While at her brother\u2019s bedside in a nursing facility, Laura penned \u201cEase the Pain,\u201d an emotional ballad about her love for Jay.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod gave me that song in an instant,\u201d Hawthorne says, \u201cbecause He knew how desperately we all needed hope.\u201d As a National Anthem singer for the NY Mets, Hawthorne had the opportunity to perform her brother\u2019s song at Shea Stadium during the 1st Annual Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Day.<\/p>\n

Hawthorne states:\u00a0 \u201cI was a pretty self-centered and driven artist until my brother\u2019s tragedy. But the Lord opened my eyes and gave me a new desire to use my gifts to further His kingdom while sharing my brother\u2019s story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Founder of Livin\u2019 in His Love Inc., a world outreach music ministry, Hawthorne began traveling the U.S. in 2004 as a worship leader and speaker. Her previous album, \u201cHe\u2019s Been Faithful\u201d (2009), was released as Hawthorne started traveling internationally, leading worship during mission trips in the Dominican Republic and Swaziland (Africa). In 2013, the Lord opened a door for her to minster at a benefit concert in Newtown, Conn., immediately following the Sandy Hook tragedy. Hawthorne states: \u201cWe all must be ready to be the hands and feet of Jesus\u2026whenever and wherever He calls.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently residing in upstate New York, Hawthorne is a worship leader at Netherwood Baptist Church<\/p>\n
