Summer Music at 2PC | Begins June 17 

The Chapel Choir is taking a well-deserved 6-week break this summer and it's your opportunity to be part of the summer ensembles that will sing or play for the 9am worship service. The commitment level is low and the music will be easy enough for non-music readers to participate (except on orchestra Sunday). Help to make this summer of music at 2PC a meaningful worship experience. Please plan to participate on the following Sundays.

June 17 | All women are invited to participate in a vocal ensemble at the Sunday, 9am service. Any woman of any age is welcome. No prior experience needed - just a desire to worship God in song. Rehearsal will be at 8am that day and the music will be easy. Please help kick off the special summer music for the 9am worship service by being part of this group.

July 1 | Men of the Church - any age men, rehearse at 8am that morning

July 8 | Hymn Sunday - Congregational hymn-singing, no choir or soloist

July 22 |  Orchestra Sunday - anyone who plays an instrument, rehearse Wednesday, July 18, 6:00pm in the sanctuary

July 31 | | Mixed Choir - all ages are welcome, rehearse at 8am that morning, families are encouraged to participate
