An Invitation from

Ina Young

Have you ever felt the desire to sing with the choir but hesitated because you can’t read music? Do you long to deepen your spiritual life through song, but aren’t sure where to start?

Please join us this Sunday for our Adult Choir Literacy & Spiritual Formation Class—a welcoming, no-pressure opportunity to learn the basics of reading music, understanding a choral score, and experiencing the beauty of sacred music as prayer.

Who: For anyone who feels called to sing, regardless of musical experience. Whether you’re completely new to music or returning after many years, this class is for you.

When: Starts this Sunday 7/13, after service 10:45am

Where: In the Nave.

How long: Classes will meet once a week for four weeks.

Come with an open heart and a willingness to try something new. Music is a gift from God—let’s unwrap it together!

I hope you’ll join us in lifting our voices—and our spirits—together.

In harmony and hope,

Ina
