During the past year’s hiatus, we have all realized the importance of music to our emotional and spiritual well-being. We have missed the community of singing together. Our numbers need rebuilding. Now is the time for you to join in the music ministry of Christ Church. You don’t need a professional voice. You just need the desire to sing from the heart. Join our musical family anytime this year. Our first “in-person” rehearsal is on Thursday, September 9 at 7pm. You must be fully vaccinated and wear a mask. Bring water bottle and a pencil. We’ll supply you with a folder of music and a spiffy robe. See you then 🎶 |
