Children's Choir Musical
The children's anthem this Sunday morning is the opening number from their upcoming musical, " In the Image." Be sure to join us Wednesday, April 26 at 6:30 in the Congregation House for this inspiring musical play by our Junior and Primary Choirs. "In the Image" tells the story of how we are all created in God's image, and therefore we are meant to be creative in our own special ways. The children in the story learn that there is more than one "creative type" and at the same time they realize that we need to take care of God's creation. The Beginner choir will open the program.  The play will be repeated at The Pines on May 3 at 4:45.
