Both groups will first meet in room B100, right across the hall from the Worship Center, starting at 6:30pm. In addition to preparing worshipful music for our Sunday services, the ministry will also be taking time this semester to prepare some fun country gospel songs for Round Up Sunday, as well as beautiful and festive selections for Christmas at Hoffmantown.
