You see this at the beginning of every semester – we really mean it! You do not have to be a perfect musician. Calling ALL musicians! Opera singers, shower singers, happy birthday singers, bell ringers, ding-a-lings and musicians in training! All humans from 3 years to 110 years are invited to give music @ FUMC a try.
Rehearsals for FUMC musical ensembles resume their regular schedules soon. All interested musicians (and wanna-be musicians!) are welcome to join. Invite your friends. If you miss the first rehearsal, come to another! Contact Barbara Zachow for more information at 217‑356‑9078 or bzachow@comcast.net.
