	'Singing marathon' to mark Brazil church centennial

	A 36-hour "singing marathon" will take place over the July 3-4
weekend on the campus of the Lutheran University of Brazil (known by its
Portuguese acronym ULBRA) in Canoas.

	The marathon of uninterrupted singing will be performed by
Lutheran singers and choirs in the university chapel in honor of the
100th anniversary of the 220,000-member Evangelical Lutheran Church in
Brazil.

	The event, which is expected to break the world record in the
Guinness Book of Records of 29 hours, 3 minutes, also will be broadcast
live on the ULBRA Web site at www.ulbra.br.

	The Brazil church body was organized June 24, 1904, as a result
of LCMS missionary efforts.
