Hello everyone! We miss performing for you and as soon as it’s safe, we look forward to joining you again in song and celebration. We mourn the many losses from the COVID virus, and pray for the health and safety of those who are affected. Please stay safe, be healthy, reach out to others, and rejoice in the songs and joys of life.
