Children's Choirs for ages 4 through grade 5 have begun meeting on Wednesdays at 5:15PM before church supper at 6:00PM. If your child would like to participate, it's not too late.

The H.O.P.E. Youth Choir (grades 6-12) began rehearsals last Sunday. The Sunday youth schedule has been changed so that the H.O.P.E. Choir will rehearse 4:30-5:30PM in the Choir Room, followed by dinner and youth program time. We plan to be more involved in worship this year, including Anchor Worship, and also hope to expand into areas of outreach ministry.

The Men's Chorus will begin another series of rehearsals on Sunday, October 2nd, at 7PM. We plan to sing in worship on October 30, All Saints Sunday. This is a great way to enjoy the inspiring music and great fellowship of a choir with only a short-term commitment. ALL men are welcome!

Coastal Jail Ministries cordially invites you to attend their fall banquet on Monday, October 17th, 6:00-8:30PM at the Ferguson Avenue Baptist Church.
