NO Joyful Noise Practice this Sunday

Because of the various Mardi Gras family activities scheduled for this Sunday and Super Bowl Sunday, there will be NO JOYFUL NOISE PRACTICE this Sunday. Practice will resume next Sunday, February 14th from 4-5 pm in the choir room. It’s not too late to bring a friend! Remember, service hours will be awarded for middle schoolers. All 1st through 8th graders are welcome.SuperBowl.jpg

Joyful Noise Choir starts Jan.31

The Joyful Noise Choir will resume on Sunday, January 31 at 4:00 pm. Please note the new time for practice!
Joyful Noise Choir is for children and youth in 1st – 8th grades. Our very own Ruben Rincon, Jr., certified music educator, piano instructor and organist extraordinaire, will be directing the choir this spring.
Please make every effort to have your young person in attendance. We have plans for music during the Easter season and hopes for a Christmas musical production, but we need the commitment of our young worship leaders to make this happen.
