ATLANTA — The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square brought down the house at the final stop on their tour of the southeastern United States.
The performance at State Farm Arena in downtown Atlanta Wednesday evening included a special surprise guest. Broadway star and actress Kristin Chenoweth took the stage to a boisterous standing ovation from the thousands who attended.
“Hello, Atlanta!” Chenoweth said, beaming.
The singer – who has previously appeared with the Tabernacle Choir, including at its Christmas concert in 2018 – went on to perform “Angels Among Us” as a tribute on the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.

Chenoweth also sang a powerful rendition of “How Great Thou Art,” which brought the audience to their feet.
The concert was the final performance of the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square’s “Hope” tour through Florida and Georgia. In the Peach State, the choir continued their collaboration with glee club singers from Morehouse College and Spelman College, two historically Black colleges in Atlanta.
The groups first sang together last year in Salt Lake City on the broadcast “Music and the Spoken Word.” This year, the Utah-based choir traveled to Georgia to join the glee club singers in their home state.
The audience at State Farm Arena gave multiple standing ovations to the African American choirs, which performed energetic and heartfelt numbers like “I Ain’t Got Weary Yet” and “Children Go Where I Send Thee.”
It was the second time in three days the Tabernacle Choir performed with Morehouse and Spelman in Atlanta. They put on a concert Monday evening at the Martin Luther King, Jr. International Chapel on the Morehouse campus.
Additionally, the Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square performed Wednesday morning at the Georgia State Capitol at a ceremony commemorating 9/11.
Choir leaders have said this tour was about bringing unity and hope. Judging by the crowd Wednesday night – who loudly and repeatedly roared their approval throughout the two-hour jam-packed concert – they succeeded.
The Tabernacle Choir heads back to Salt Lake City on Thursday.

Georgia Bulldogs vs Kentucky Wildcats injury report released ahead of the week three matchup.
The Georgia Bulldogs are getting their conference schedule kicked off this weekend against the Kentucky Wildcats in Lexington. Kentucky lost their conference opener against South Carolina in a tough fashion by a final score of 31-6. The Bulldogs are heavy favorites coming into this one but rain is expected to be in the area during the football game which might impact the football game. With that being said, here are some defensive players to watch for Georgia this weekend.

Mother Of Georgia High School Shooting Suspect Apologizes In Open Letter
![Mother Of Georgia High School Shooting Suspect Apologizes In Open Letter Mother Of Georgia High School Shooting Suspect Apologizes In Open Letter](https://imageio.forbes.com/specials-images/imageserve/66e1c8f7fa4cd5db97ccb8dd/0x0.jpg?format=jpg&height=900&width=1600&fit=bounds)
Topline
The mother of the 14-year-old student suspected of opening fire in a Georgia high school last week, killing four people and injuring nine others, apologized for her son’s actions in a new letter Wednesday, but insisted he is “not a monster,” CNN reported.

Key Facts
Marcee Gray—the mother of Colt Gray, the student suspected of killing four people at Apalachee High School last week—wrote in an open letter addressed to the parents and families of those affected “I am so sorry from the bottom of my heart,” and added: “I will personally never forgive myself for what has happened.”
“My son Colt is not a monster,” she continued in the letter, which was first reported by CNN, and asked people to “pray for him and the rest of our family, as I am praying for all of you every moment of every day.”
It was previously reported that Marcee Gray received a text from her son the morning of the shooting that read “I’m sorry, mom,” and that she called the school to warn of an “extreme emergency” about 30 minutes before police responded to the shooting.

Key Background
Colt Gray has been charged as an adult with four counts of felony murder related to a school shooting last Wednesday at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia. Four people—two students and two teachers—were killed in the shooting, and the 14-year-old suspect was apprehended at the scene after surrendering to police. In the week since the shooting, information has come out about past threats of school shootings Gray had been accused of making, and at least one family member told The Washington Post he had struggled with mental health.
Tangent
Gray’s father, Colin Gray, was also charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The charges were filed after Colin Gray told officials he had bought his son the gun used in the shooting as a gift. The charges mark some of the most serious brought against a parent of a suspected school shooter, and come months after Jennifer and James Crumbley were sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison for involuntary manslaughter after buying their son—who went on to kill four students at a Michigan high school in 2021—a gun as a gift despite warning signs about his mental health.
