Music Notes&
WE HAVE A ROBE WITH YOUR NAME ON IT.  The 9:30 Sanctuary Choir has begun rehearsals Wednesdays at 7:15pm in the church.  The 11:00 Folk Group will begin rehearsals this week, Tuesday, September 5, 7:15 p.m. in the church.  We are currently seeking male singers for this group.  We rehearse and perform twice monthly. 

CAN YOU CARRY A TUNE IN A BUCKET?  You know, you don't need a fabulous voice nor a musical background to have the joy-filled experience of singing in our choir.  Try it--you'll get hooked!  Maybe you can only sing with us partime, or during certain seasons.  We will work with your busy schedule--we're flexible!  Let's talk.  (We also hope soon to offer childcare for our rehearsals.)
