Iconic Houston born singer, Beyoncé has returned to her childhood church to help support the victims of Hurricane Harvey but she said all she came to do was “celebrate” the victims.
The Grammy award wining singer was accompanied by her mother and daughter Blue Ivy Carter. She was also joined by former fellow Destiny’s Child group member Michelle Williams.
The 36-year-old singer attended her childhood place of worship, St. John’s United Methodist
Church in Houston.
The Halo crooner was reduced to tears as she gave her motivational and heart warming speech.
She said she wanted to “celebrate” the people who have survived in her hometown.
“This today is a celebration of survival,” the singer told the crowd of people at the church,
according to the Houston Chronicle. “Y’all are my family, Houston is my home; and I thank God that y’all are safe, that your children are safe”. she said.
The singer who had earlier collaborated with her childhood pastor, Rudy to set up relief materials for the flood victims through her BeyGOOD foundation then said:
“The things that really matter are your health and your children and your family and your life,” the emotional singer told the crowd. I just want to say that I love you.”
She posted some of the photos on her Instagram account with a caption that reads:
“Thanks to everyone who donated to BeyGOOD and contributed to helping so many families in Houston. Thank you Pastor Rudy, Michelle, Ingrid and all at St. John’s Church, Thank you to Trae Tha Truth and your crew. Y’all are so consistently dedicated to our community.”
