Choir is starting and we need your voice. Judy Voorhees would like to hear from you if you would like to sing in the choir. Not only do we sing, we have a lot of fun as well.
A huge thank you to our great congregation who came forward with donations to make the kitchenette remodel a reality. It is finished! New paint, flooring, sink (and plumbing) - all completely paid for in full! A special thank you to Patsy Phillips for being the "job foreman" and for all of her hard work!
