Summer 10:30 choir begins on June 30
If you enjoy singing in church, why not come out each Sunday at 9:30 beginning on Sunday, June 30 to help lead music with your heart and voice. We will warm up and then practice a simple psalm, the hymns, service music, and an easier anthem or hymn to share in worship. You are welcome to come any weeks you are in church, and the dress code is, of course, casual. If you have questions, please ask Michael or any choir member. Hope to sing with you soon!
