COME AND JOIN IN THE MISSION OF SINGING GOD'S PRAISE ON CHRISTMAS EVE!
This Christmas Eve, you're

Worship Team in singing Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus" during our

The "Hallelujah Chorus" will be sung twice on Christmas

again at the beginning of the 9:00pm service.
You are also invited to participate in
singing all the additional music for one of each of the services of your

rehearsals will be on Tuesdays at 7:00pm.

We'll rehearse the Hallelujah Chorus at both rehearsals.
All rehearsals are in the music room at Saint Matthew.
