Some residents from Good Samaritan Shelter visited with us this
past Sunday for worship followed by a fun time of refreshments
and fellowship.
Calling all Singers!
Easter Choir Cantata rehearsals have started. Please prayerfully
consider joining us for this special event in the life of the church. This is a
wonderful way to celebrate the Resurrection of Our Lord and Savior!
Rehearsals are scheduled for:
Sundays from 10:45 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
Men’s Sectionals: February 14 & 28
Full Choir Rehearsals: February 21, March 6, 13, 20
We will also be practicing our Easter Cantata music on Thursday evenings
(7:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.), so if you have to miss a Sunday practice, you can
come that Thursday evening instead. Please realize that all rehearsals are
very important, and you need to plan to attend as many as possible to be
prepared to sing on Easter Sunday.
The Easter Cantata will be presented at both services.
Any questions, please contact Marcella at 484-614-6604.
