It's that time again for the San Fernando Male Chorus to sing at SOV. Come see Ralph Mauriello and Carl Smith sing in a show called "'Tis the Merriest".
It features holiday songs, both religious and secular. Ralph's solo is "Little One, Tiny One". Also he and Carl are in a quartet doing a comedy number, "Oh Little Town of Woodland Hills".
The Chorus was organized in 1957, for the purpose of promoting male harmony. The Chorus is a non-profit corporation, with no political or religious affiliations; just members from all walks of life with one common bond-- a love of male musical harmony.
Purchase your tickets from Ralph Mauriello. 100% of the proceeds will go to SOV.

This week we'll learn about Care Receivers.
Care receivers are people-congregation members and others in the community-who receive care from a Stephen Minister. These are people struggling through a difficult time in life-experiencing grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness, or some other life crisis.
Some important guidelines for this caring relationship protect both the care receiver and the Stephen Minister:
