HS Choir News - Week of 12/8/2014

THANK YOU!

Thank you to everyone who volunteered and helped with Hoagie Pickup last Thursday, and Christmas Caroling at Christmas Past on Friday!  Both turnouts were wonderful, and much appreciated!

Thank you also to everyone who contributed in the Free Will offering at Trinity on November 25th.  $67 was raised for the Trinity UMC Clothing Closet, which helps clothe young children in our community free of charge throughout the year.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations and thank you to the Rhapsody in Blues on 3 great performances last week at UPMC's Light Up Night, Golden Living Center, and the Christmas Past Charity Bazaar.  All were well received, and performances went very well!
