Summer Choir & "Note Reading for Dummies"

Our Summer Choir is open to all of our church members and guests and is a good way to try out choir singing. Just show up at 9 a.m. in the church for practice and you're in the choir for that Sunday's 10 a.m. Service. No Robes, please!

Michael Ryan will offer "Note Reading for Dummies" in July if there is sufficient interest. Two sessions per week for five weeks and all work to be done in class. A number of people have taken this class in the past and found it valuable to their enjoyment of music and participation in our choirs. Please contact mryansings@verizon.net if interested.

Annual Parish Picnic, June 6

Our Summer church picnic will be held on June 6, following the 10 a.m. service. Hot dogs and hamburgers will be provided, and we are asking all attendees to please bring a side dish to share. This promises to be a fun-filled event featuring great food, games, and fellowship. Our youth have had a very successful year in the Church School, and a picnic is a great way to wrap up the year with celebration. This is also an excellent way for all parishioners to get to know and welcome our newcomers. Newcomers, we are extending a very special invitation for your attendance. Please mark your calendar to attend this special parish-wide event.
