Can you participate in music this Fall? The Bell Choir really needs a few more ringers. Everyone can be taught to play bells. If you already know music, it'll be easier but it's not a requirement.
The Chancel Choir also welcomes male and female voices.
Children and youth are welcome in both choirs provided a certain level of maturity.
Adults, youth, and children are also invited to participate in a March 2025 Musical at John Wesley. (Godspell or Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat). If anyone is interested in being in the show, please email jdudzinski223@gmail.com or speak to Joe Dudzinski, music director.
