SPECIAL NEWS!
WE ARE MEETING THIS SPRING, beginning April 6, 2021!
As it is the case with many organizations, this semester is going to look a bit different than normal for us as well. Because there are so many outside organizations that use the church space, they have instituted a blanket regulation that none are currently allowed in. SO, we will have parking lot music through beginning of June! The goal is to provide music and singing in any way that we can!
We all know that music is necessary during a time such as this. Students need to connect through music! We are thankful to be able to offer an opportunity for families.
