🎵 Come and Sing With Us! 🎵

Do you love to sing? Then come and join the choir!

Just bring your voice, your enthusiasm, and a willingness to share the joy of music!

Our choir is a welcoming group of people who enjoy singing together and helping lead our congregation in worship. We work hard but have a lot of fun doing it.

When we sing together, we do more than make music. We build community, lift our spirits, deepen our worship, and share God’s love.❤️ Come and add your voice!

The choir practises on Thursday afternoons, from 1:30 to 3:00.

Our first practice is on Thursday, September 10, at 1:30 p.m. We’d love to have you join us.
