Music Notes from Denise, August 16, 2025

St. Martin’s music ministry welcomes new voices! Our choir has room for more singers – whether you’re an experienced vocalist or just love to sing, you’re invited to join us in leading worship, building community and sharing prayer through music.

Our three sopranos – Chelsea, Beckie and Candy – are eager to welcome you. Rehearsals take place Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM. If Wednesdays don’t fit your schedule, you can also meet us on Sundays at 9:45 AM to learn the music for that day.

We kick off the season with a potluck rehearsal on **Wednesday, September 3** at **6:00 PM** in Park Hall. Bring a dish to share, enjoy fellowship and fun singing, and get to know the choir!

For more information or to let us know you’re coming, please contact Denise Marsh at **dmarsh@stmartinschurch.org**.

Join us and make a joyful noise!
