NAME OF FEATURE | THE GLEANER | FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2025 4 CREDIT UNION WEEK IN REVIEW FEATURE EVEN AS grey clouds gathered over Emancipation Park, the spirit of praise and celebration filled the air at the Credit Unions of Jamaica’s Praise in the Park Gospel Concert on Thursday, October 16, 2025. With umbrellas held high, scores of patrons flocked to the venue to receive their evening blessing despite the rain. The third staging of the Credit Unions of Jamaica’s Praise in the Park concert delivered on its promise of a night filled with worship, community spirit, and uplifting performances from both emerging youth acts and seasoned gospel vocalists. Praise in the Park forms part of Credit Unions of Jamaica’s ongoing outreach efforts to strengthen ties with credit union members and the wider community through faith, music, and service. The initiative reflects the movement’s focus on holistic empowerment, supporting not only financial well-being but also spiritual and social growth. On-site was a soup kitchen sponsored by CUNA Caribbean Insurance Jamaica Ltd, the concert’s title sponsor. Media coverage was provided by SORA Media, which also sponsored the event. Other sponsors included CUMAX Wealth Management (a subsidiary of the Jamaica Co-operative Credit Union League Ltd), NEXGen Changemakers (the youth arm of the credit union movement in Jamaica), SR Music/Entertainment Factory, Rhon Matthison Music, and Gospel Praise Squad moved the patrons with songs of praise, living up to their name at the CUJ Praise in the Park Gospel Concert. Patrons lift their hands in praise as the last remnants of the rainy evening subsides at the CUJ Praise in the Park Gospel Concert.
