Choir Retreat Photos & Video

On Saturday, August 27, the Parish Choir embarked on their first Choir Retreat. Sue Mitchell-Wallace was our guest clinician/mentor for the day. Sue is known all over the U.S. for her expertise in Choir Ministries and Hymn Festivals, as well as a clinician, composer, and accompanist.  Sue is also an instructor in the Leadership Program for Musicians. Members of the Parish Choir spent a whole day in fellowship, worship, prayer, learning, and rehearsals. We thank Sue for her tireless efforts in creating a more beautiful world through worship and music!
