Summer is a busy time for all of us but it is also a time to relax, refresh and renew so we can begin again in the fall. during these summer months, we are going to be looking at some new things musically that you would want to possibly be involved in.

This summer would be a great time for you to come and give choir a try!! We meet each Wednesday night at 6pm in the choir room above the sanctuary. We several times this summer where we will be trying some new things and I know you would like to be involved. Come and just visit with us on Wednesdays at 6pm and give choir a try. I think you will find it refreshing and will give you a midweek boost.

If you are interested, drop me a note at [email protected] and we can get you all set up. See you Sunday.
