Join a Music Ensemble!
All ensembles in the music ministry invite you to join them for Lent and beyond. Just because you see people playing bells or singing in the choir doesn’t mean they don’t need you too! Use your God-given musical gifts (no expertise required!) to enhance your own worship experience and others’. Bell director Murray Simpson wants to get the 4th and 5th octaves of bells out of their cases. Lee Galbreath wants to expand her ensemble to an even more Joyful Noise! And Bradley Naylor dreams of the transformation of worship that a full choir loft would bring to our church. Speak to someone you see making music in our church today about using your musical gifts for ministry!

A participant’s walk symbolizes the distance a man, woman or child may have to travel daily in a developing country to obtain food or water –thus the motto “Ending Hunger One Step at a Time.” If you’d like to learn more about how you can participate contact Tim Langford or John Legge.
