Music Sunday
Sunday, June 11 ~ 10:00 am
On June 11, Music Sunday, we bring music to the forefront of our worship, replacing much of the liturgy with beautiful harmonies and melodies. The handbell choir and the chancel choir are preparing a musical smorgasbord to delight all tastes. We will offer traditional and contemporary arrangements of hymns and gospel numbers that are sure to leave your heart smiling and your toes tapping.
Each year we offer this special treat before the choirs recess for the summer. Don’t miss it!
