CHILDREN’S HYMN CONCERT AND RECORDING

Children’s Choir CD and concert a success and I’m afraid of leaving someone out.  Our FFGO and Terrific Tuesday drivers, homework mentors, snack and playground volunteers, and choir helpers all make our music program work and we’d be lost without them.

They are $10 per CD and proceeds go to Vashti.
