Summer Gospel Choir
This choir debuts this morning under the leadership of James Creer. There will be five more Sundays where you might share in this experience. EVERYONE that would like to sing - - YOU are welcome! No previous choral experience needed, just the desire to sing in a group setting. Rehearsals will take place in the Sanctuary Sunday morning from 9:00 a.m. to 9:45 a.m., with worship beginning at 10:00 a.m., on July 5th, 12th, 26th, August 2nd and 9th. You may come for all five Sundays, or any one of them.
THANK YOU to Carolyn Pryor for serving as our organist this morning, as Mary Ann attends an organ convention in San Diego. The Chancel Choir is on a well-deserved hiatus and will be back September 13th.
