Hurricane Harvey attacked the city of Houston so harshly it left not only its citizens hurting, but the City officials were drained emotionally as they tirelessly worked to help restore our great city. Vawn Gretta was invited to open this historic meeting with song and encouragment, with an a capella redition of "Amazing Grace." ABC Houston was kind enough to cover the story!
