Attention Men!!! You’ve seen how other churches of this size and caliber do when it comes to supporting their church choirs and choruses. Most of them have a following of men who want to be accountable, and participate in a function to let God know that they are making an effort to support a ministry of their church. So, come on guys, we need you on every 2nd and 3rd Friday to give us your presence, and /or, your voice to rehearse for that 3rd Sunday when we sing. I have spoken to some, and you know who you are, as we look forward to your commitment.
Bro. Charles Johnson, President Bro. Phil Madden, Secretary Pastor Tyrone Skinner
