Leadership Development
Choir Rehearsal
While the church choir will be out for the summer, we'll be back on Gathering Sunday in September. The Pioneer Choir presents music of a great variety of styles – Gregorian chant, Renaissance polyphony, traditional spirituals, brand-new choral anthems, and more. Rehearsals are at 6:30 on Thursdays in our choir room. New singers are welcome anytime. Music-reading skills are helpful, but not required.
Bell Choir Rehearsal
While the bell choir will be out for the summer, we'll be back on Gathering Sunday in September. Pioneer Bells rehearses on Tuesdays at 6:30 in our choir room, and presents some of the rich repertoire of music for bell choir in worship services – and occasionally in front of the church, serenading Sutter’s Fort Park!
Thank You!
A special thank you goes to Randy for assembling the lunch sacks for needy and to William for decorating the sanctuary for Pentecost. We also thank Leslie and Cristina for attending our Newcomer's Class and who'll be joining the church on Sunday, July 6.
