Previous Lenten Cantata singers and/or are someone who has been recommended as a person who would be a great addition to our choir,
We would love to have you join us this year. Hopefully, God nudges you to sing with us and you choose to make time in your schedule for this activity. We scheduled 7 rehearsals, so that in case of bad weather or other reasons people need to be absent we will still be well prepared.

At members’ request, I chose a cantata we have done before - in 2018, “Come to the Cross and Remember.” We have actually had quite a change in singers since then; so, some of you will remember it and some will have a new adventure. It was the cantata in which we had people carry symbols and place them at and on the cross. The sound of the nails being pounded was the symbol that stayed with me all these years. We welcome past and new members.
