CHRISTMAS PROGRAM/ OPEN CHOIR REHEARSAL

Work will begin on this years Christmas Program “Noel, Night of Endless Love” and we will have our annual Open Choir Rehearsal on Sunday evening September 7 at 6:00 pm. Remember that we are trying to get as many people to sing as possible, because we are celebrating 15 years of doing the Christmas Cantata on Christmas eve. Please help me recruit all past, present and former choir members to sing with us. You all know people who used to sing that I don’t know, so please help me out. There will be seating for those who can no longer stand in case you run across people who don’t think they should stand for an hour. Let’s make this a big one!
