Trinity Makes A Joyful Noise, Praising the Lord!
Trinity Makes A Joyful Noise, Praising the Lord!
While we are searching for a new choir director, we will try something new as a tool to make our singing worship more focused and joyful. Each week the bulletin will include a page that posts the hymns for Sunday and some background on each one. Also included will be the hymns chosen for the following Sunday along with a link to an online version of each hymn which you can listen to and become familiar with during the week.
