We Can Sing in Community Once Again!

Studies on singing reentry into our COVID world are finally coming in! I can share specifics with you if you are interested, just drop me a note. But, let's cut to the chase...

We! Can! Sing!
If you are fully vaccinated, you can sing with or without a mask. If you are unvaccinated, you must continue to wear a mask, however, you are welcome to join in our Congregational Song!
I am looking forward to hearing OUR voices once again!
-- Pauleta Hendrickson, Director of Music Ministries
