ONE AND DONE HANDBELL CHOIR

Would you like to try ringing handbells?  How about a short term commitment?  If either of these fits you then contact Joy. 

Rehearsal times will be determined when the group is organized.

 Contact Joy Lasley at [email protected]

Instrumentalists!

It is time to get that instrument out of the closet!

What if we had enough players to play in worship once a month!  Let Debbie hear from you! [email protected]

Drummer needed for drum kit or African drums such as djembe, congas, etc.  There are many anthems and hymns that need that extra touch that only a drum can give.  Do you play or know someone who does?  Please let Debbie know.
