Help Wanted – Singers and Ringers!

Have you ever thought you might like to sing in the choir or ring with the bells, but didn’t want to make a long-term commitment? We are offering the opportunity for you to try one of these on a short-term basis, three months, now through Easter. Due to some travel plans, we will be without some of our regular members for Easter. We especially need sopranos and tenors, but would welcome all voice parts. Any new ringers would be given the easiest bells and plenty of help and encouragement from our experienced ringers.

Music, a wondrous gift from God, is such a vital and important part of our worship! Please consider sharing your time and talent to be a part of our music ministry.

Mary K. Walley, Director of Music
