     The Fall Kickoff for the choir last Thursday was a big success. We practiced music for the next month, followed by food, fun, and fellowship. Thanks to Mike and Donna Barnhouse for hosting this at their beautiful home. In addition to some great Sunday morning Anthems coming up, the choir and the orchestra are also looking forward to beginning practices for the Christmas Cantata. These practices will be on Thursdays at 7:00 p.m., beginning September 13th. Everyone who loves to sing for the Lord is encouraged to come and join us. The Cantata "Christmas Presence" will be on Sunday December 16th.
