Calling all tenors and basses of the congregation! You are invited to provide the special music for this service. Our tenor and bass section leaders and choir members will assist. Just come at 10:00 ready to sing a familiar hymn. (Sopranos and altos, you’ll get your turn in August).

Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at 5:32PM Our August 1 deadline is rapidly approaching. Volunteers are needed to help with painting and other “home improvements” at the church. Work at a time of your choosing – day or evening. We are working days and evenings, including Saturday morning, July 20 from 8-11 a.m. Whatever amount of time you are able to give would be greatly appreciated. Please email the church office at adminasst@faithdesperes.org to let us know you can help.
A BIG thank you to everyone who has helped already! We appreciate your time and service.

We will welcome back Laura Rakestraw, who will share her keyboard talents while Gay is also on vacation; and section leader Danny Mortimer will present the solo, “Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho” in an arrangement by Mark Hayes.
And “Around the World” adventures will continue in Summer Sunday School for Kindergarten through 5th grade. Kids, join us for a fun morning together.
