- CHOIR Protocols:
- We have had some issues of late with people coming in very late for the 11am service and not being in their seats and ready to sing before worship starts.
- If you are late, please do not enter the choir loft when something is happening in worship, like the another group leading worship or hymns being sung. It is disrupts worship for those leading and for those who are participating.
- Please wait in the wings and enter when the choir stands to sing for the hymns or the anthem.
- Please always check this site so you are prepared for Sunday morning on what we are singing.
- Also, please remember to not wear perfumes, colognes or any flowery scented lotions when you are in the choir loft. We have had allergic reactions becuase we tend to forget about that when getting ready to leave the house.
- We have had some issues of late with people coming in very late for the 11am service and not being in their seats and ready to sing before worship starts.

- Rehearsal Information:

- MISSING MUSIC:
- for those who are missing music for whatever reason, please print off the PDF version that is attached in PlanningCenter so you have it for rehearsals. Also, let me know if you are missing your copy so we can track which numbers those are.
- PLEASE do NOT take someone else’s copy. This is becoming a problem and is not good stewardship of our resources.
