The First Presbyterian Church believes that music glorifies God.  Our commitment is to sing God's praises with grateful and sincere hearts.  As you consider how you might serve and participate in the church's activities, it is hoped that you and your family would be a member of one of our music ensembles.  Joining a choir is a wonderful way to share your talents.  There is no audition to join a choir.  You need only to “carry a tune” and match pitches, and you are not expected to read music.  Without any obligation, come to a rehearsal to find out whether it is something you enjoy.  Know that if you feel led to join, you will be blessed for your efforts.  If you have any questions, contact James Adams, director of music, 354-7615.
