I think we better cancel our “Alleluia” rehearsal tonight…wet streets and below freezing conditions make for dangerous travel. Listen to your CDs and we’ll hit it hard next Monday night. Please share!

A little rain won’t keep us from “Singing More in ‘24!” Hope to see you tonight at 6:30 at First Baptist Church, as we begin preparation for “Alleluia.”
