The funds you raise truly make a difference in the fight against cancer – just ask one of the nearly 14 million cancer survivors who will celebrate another birthday this year!

Our choir is finally "Re-BOOTING" after the long wait!

SO - we want you to join us!

When the choir will be participating in the service, we will be meeting on Sunday mornings only, to start. We rehearse at 9am (for about 30 minutes), then have some wonderful fellowship time before the worship service at 10am. We're hoping to begin having mid-week rehearsals as well, soon.

See Pastor Sylvia or Sandy Gunn to get more info, or just come on Sunday morning at 9am to join in the singing!
