Holiday-Themed First Friday Concert at La Porte Hospital
The official coordinator of the First Friday in the Chapel programs at La Porte Hospital will be the featured performer in December, sharing his talents on piano and pipe organ to lead participants through a melodious holiday concert, complete with a Christmas sing-along. The concert takes place at Noon, Dec. 1 in the La Porte Hospital Family Chapel, 1007 Lincolnway, La Porte. It is free and open to the public, and attendees are welcome to bring a lunch.
Mike Gillock, a La Porte resident since 1970, is well-known in the community as a worship musician on keyboard instruments for local churches, and for having served as choir director and organist over the years for milestone events such as weddings and funerals.
A 1968 graduate of Marion College, and a 1976 graduate of Indiana University, Gillock was a teacher for children, adults, and the developmentally disabled for 31 years before retiring. He also has been a successful insurance salesman, a coordinator of Special Olympics, a case manager for a mental health facility, and a driver transporting local assisted living residents to medical appointments. The community might also recognize him as a local door-to-door canvasser for the U.S. Census Bureau. He became the coordinator of the First Friday in the Chapel performances in December, 2016.
Gillock and his wife Joyce are members of the First United Methodist Church in La Porte and are both enjoying retirement, especially when it involves spending time with their four children and seven grandchildren.
First Friday in the Chapel is made possible by the Healthcare Foundation of La Porte (HFL), a not-for-profit foundation dedicated to empowering residents to live healthy and well in and around La Porte.
