We respond to God through joyful singing and playing, giving honor to the church’s great musical heritage, and embracing new song.
Sign Up Now For Summer Music – Musicians Needed!
Summer is a great time to share your musical gifts with your RLC family and friends. Most of the RLC choirs and ensembles will be taking a well-deserved break from regular rehearsing and performing, therefore vocal and instrumental solos and ensembles are needed for use in both Saturday and Sunday worship services starting June 16-17. Call your friends, comrades, co-workers, neighbors, acquaintances, and family members, and make a plan! Play/sing for a single service, or take a whole weekend! Have fun!
If you want to participate, please contact John Helgen to get on the list.
