Choir Retreat
The 2016 Choir Retreat will be held on Saturday, August 20 at the home of Betsy Bischoff from 9 am to 12 pm. This is a great opportunity for each current choir member to bring along someone who is interested in becoming a choir member. Please attempt to find at least one person to bring to the retreat. This may be someone who is potentially a new church member or a current member seeking a way to enhance his or her Sunday worship. In addition, a corn roast, prepared by the Bischoffs, will follow all of Saturday’s events! Our present choir is a dedicated group who like to sing and have fun. We can always use more voices, so please consider joining us at the retreat.  If you have any questions, please see Nathan or Cindy. There is a sign-up list posted in the choir room.
