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: Monday Night Music Baths

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

There's a long-standing sentiment among many VIPs that something special happens on Monday nights. It's really sort of remarkable... We can walk in the door in the crummiest of moods, and somehow those Monday night blahs just evaporate. This past Monday, we had rainy weather, chilly temperatures, and skies that seemed to darken just a little earlier than they should. And even with all this, the traditional Monday night mood shift occurred.
 
I'm not exactly sure what drives the metamorphosis, but Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, "Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons. You will find it is to the soul what a water bath is to the body."
 
That sounds about right, so here's to Monday Night Music Baths!
