There’s Still Time to Join a Bell Choir!!

The Family (Mondays at 7:00pm) and Adult (Mondays at 7:45pm) handbell choirs play in worship one Sunday a month.  We would love to have more people ring with us.  We have a fantastic time making beautiful music, so come on out and join us!

Parise God in Song!

You’ve seen us perform Sunday after Sunday all year long, and we’re sure that you’ve noticed all the hard work that we’ve put in this year.  We hope that you’ll come join us in raising our voices to lead the community in musical worship.  If your family or friends have ever heard you in the shower, or if you just love to sing in the car, you should head on over to choir.  Music/note reading skills are not necessary.  Enthusiasm and a desire to share your special gift with all of the rest of the congregation is all you will need to bring with you to be incredibly successful with us!  Please stop by for a rehearsal on Thursday at 7:30pm and see what we’re all about.
