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!

Thankful Thursday: VIP Siblings

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. (Psalm 101: 1)
This post is part of a new Thankful Thursday series - check back every week to see what we're MOST thankful for this week!

Ellie, CC
 Today, we are thankful for siblings... specifically VIP siblings. Nearly 25% of our current members have an older brother or sister who was/is a VIP. Sometimes we happily follow our older siblings to VIP. Other times (as is the case for CC and Ellie), we get dragged to that first rehearsal by a demanding older sibling who says "You're doing this!"

It's fun when singers from the same family learn the same music, especially when they learn different parts. Having VIP siblings is pretty fun for all of us. Just this week, Allison discovered that Madeline is Charlie's little sister and said, "Ohhhhhh, it's like a little piece of Charlie is here with us." :-) Indeed.

Here a few pictures of some famous (or infamous, depending on how you look at it) VIP siblings:
