Won't you join me?

I am Beverly Petersen, music director for Grace United Methodist Church in Warren. I am so excited to be your choir director for the 2010 Annual Conference Choir! It will thrill me to be a part of a choir of such size! I hope we have over 100 voices singing praise to God almighty!

Can't make ALL rehearsals or worship serivces? Come anytime you can!

If you can sing at any worship service, but cannot make the Wednesday rehearsal or other worship opportunities, please come as often as your time allows. Of course, I hope you can sing at all worship services and make the reheasals, but I am a realist. Regardless, I hope to see you at 3:30 on Wednesday, June 9.

Can you bring/lend a CHOIR ROBE and STOLE?

I love to see the wide variety of choir robes when group of diverse voices join together. To celebrate our diverse United Methodist churches, singers should bring robes from each home church. If your leadership approves, please borrow extra choir robes to loan to the AC2010 choir members.

I will update details here so check back to this webpage.  Contact me at Grace UMC at  graceoffice@atlanticbbn.net or 814.723.9440.
