Hymn Sings
Each Sunday at 10:15am, before the regular service, we will sing 3 hymns: one favorite, one new one, and one which we could know better. There is a sign up sheet in the back of the sanctuary where you can let us know of your favorites. Come and join us in the great Methodist tradition of singing!
