All women are welcome to participate. This group is perfect for those unable to sing in the Chancel Choir on a weekly basis.

The Power of One: Every dollar bill that is placed in the offering plate is put in a special account called “Power of One.” The purpose for this fund is both to create a “holy habit” and to fund special projects that are not budgeted. Rather than passing the plate without making a contribution, you are encouraged to place a dollar bill in the plate as a means of participating fully in this act of worship. A dollar may seem like a small amount, but the Power of One can make a difference in our congregation.
