We (the pastor and the choirs) are so very blessed with the leadership of Beth Barton who has been our Director of Music since mid-April!! God bless you and thank you, Beth!! We sang a new anthem on Pentecost (with an encore on Trinity Sunday), "Fill a Me Up"! The Spanish Choir with several Cantata choir members have been singing some inspiring anthems in Spanish the past few weeks! Join us at 10:25 am on Sundays to practice. The Cantata Choir shared anthems from the Resurrection Cantata each of the Sundays during the season of Resurrection. You added so much to our worship!! Thanks!! Beth is looking for trios, solos, and duets to sing/play for the offertory during the summer. Consider worshiping God this way and let her know what you can do. The Children's Choir will practice June 14 and 21 at 10:50 to prepare their special for Father's Day. The choir practices at 10:25 am and 4:30 pm on Sundays. Come join us in worshiping God with your joyful noise!
