Serving the Church Through Music

    There are many opportunities for us to serve the Lord through music in our church. We need to reflect on the vows we took when we became members of the church. Remember that part about sharing talents……sometimes that one gets ignored.

    Talent comes in many forms and sometimes a person has talent that is never used. If you don't use, you lose. Most people think to be in the choir or handbells that you have to be a music genius. This is NOT the case. In handbells you just have to be able to count to four and know how to use highlighters. You do not have to read music to be in any choir in the church.

    Our music program is alive and well, but it could use YOU!! Come and join a choir and Make a Joyful Noise.
