If you haven't already done so, be sure to pick up a ballot in church this Sunday and vote for your favorite hymns, songs, and choruses. These ballots may also be picked up from the office during the week. Because they are in a large format that won't print on home printers, the ballot is not linked here. But the office will mail you one if you call them and let them know you want to have it. You may also simply provide a list of up to 25 favorites on a plain sheet of paper or by emailing the list here. The selections receiving the most votes will be sung in worship this summer. Please return the ballots by Sunday, June 12.
