Our staff recital went off without a hitch and was well received. It was a beautiful, cool evening filled with a variety of music, instruments and voices. Pastor Seth relived his glory days with and rocked the house. Click below to see the recital!
Fill the Earth with Music was performed last Sunday, April 28th with every pew filled. 50 voices, orchestra and guest soloists filled our hearts and souls with world music, sung in many different languages and styles. Matt Stout has created a very special, professional-grade video for us to enjoy (right). Thank you to our music staff, our choir and all of you for your support and delight in what was a very special morning in the life of our faith community.
