The Ainsworth Choir Service of Lessons & Carols

This Sunday’s Service of Lessons and Carols presents an opportunity for everyone. If you love Mulberry’s youth, you will be inspired as they lead worship by delivering the nine readings.

If you love the Ainsworth Choir, you will hear them at their best. So please join us Sunday at 11:00 for A Service of Lessons and Carols, and rejoice!

Together we are sharing the heart of God...
