Special Musical Visitors
This Sunday, 9 a.m. Worship Service
We are pleased to welcome three choirs from the Green Bay Boy Choir and Girl Choir organization. We will be hosting the three youngest choirs of the seven choirs that are part of their organization. The Green Bay Boy Choir and Girl Choir are music performance and education programs for boys and girls emphasizing the development of music skills and understanding. The Choirs endeavor to enrich the lives of children from all religious, racial, cultural and economic backgrounds. Through music activities and community involvement, the Choirs help foster the personal and social growth of their members and promote members' sense of self-esteem, accomplishment and pride. We look forward to hearing from them.
