Bell Choir Schedule for 2010
The Bells of Joy gratefully acknowledge the following people for making their new vests: Ruby Simmons, Tamae Hicks, Becky Fulton and Cindi Jones. As the season begins we look forward to our new music and hope that it will be a worshipful experience for each of you.

The Chancel Choir leads worship each Sunday at 9:00 AM. and meets at 7:00 PM each Wednesday for practice. The Beracah Choir leads worship each Sunday at 11:10 AM, and practices each Monday at 7:30 PM.
