K-4th Grade Choir Sings

March 3!

The K-4th grade choir will be singing at the 8:00am service on Sunday, March 3.

We will meet in the church sanctuary 7:30. K-4th choir is singing at the beginning of the service as usual, as well as on the opening hymn. Students will be dismissed after the opening hymn. Although we will sing at the beginning of the service, we invite everyone to stay for the rest of the service, coffee hour, Sunday School, and Bible Class. Feel free to sit with your child's teacher! Please remember this is a required part of your child's music grade. If you have a conflict, a parent must call Miss Braunschweig or the absence will not be excused and will affect your student's grade. If you have any questions, feel free to email Megan Braunschweig at mbraunschweig@goodshepherdwi.org
