Welcome! Voices In Praise exists for the glory of God and in service to others. As the youth choir of Friendship United Methodist Church, the group is open to all youth in grades 6 -12 who have a desire to sing and a willingness to make the commitment to the group. Singers are not required to be a member of the church or to have any background in singing. Our doors are open to everyone!

The choir rehearses on Mondays. Girls rehearse from 6:30pm – 8pm; Guys rehearse from 7pm – 8:30pm.

New singers are welcome any time. Feel free to contact Director Holly Reynolds Lee at 301-728-1748 with questions!

On Our Way!

We're on our way! 31 singers, 8 chaperones, 2 bus drivers, 4 music stands, 2 guitars, 1 flute and 1 trombone-- and Noah Goliath Lee, our trusty digital piano. Oridinarily we don't name instruments, but when we take the piano on a plane, it rides in a passenger seat and the airline requires it to have a ticket and a name. So, the VIPs named it. Any 2008 VIPs remember why?

Pastor Don came and led all of thie parents and singers in a devotional, encouraging us to be good ambassadors for Christ, and focus our tour theme - Live by Faith. It's quite a thing to ask teenagers to do... And it will be exciting to see how the VIPs navigate the week ahead. We've already had our first detour- the ramp to 95 north is closed. Yikes. What other detours are in store this week?

Thanks for your support, prayers and good wishes during this Tour! South Bend, here we come!
