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!

CD Release!

Voices In Praise is thrilled to announce the release of our latest recording - Live By Faith - with 15 songs recorded during last summer's tour to South Bend and Chicago. From Handel's classic "Praise the Lord" to Keith Hampton's "Praise His Holy Name," the CD features a wonderful blend of classical, gospel/spiritual, and contemporary anthems.

CDs are $15 and will be available at Friendship UMC on Sunday, Dec. 12 and Sunday, Dec. 19, and at our upcoming performances. Please contact Director Holly Reynolds Lee to order copies via email or phone.


VIP records "live" which means that every recording you hear was recorded live in concert or in a concert warm-up. The CD is a mix of recordings taken in different places, and each room has its own, unique sound. Sometimes you might hear doors opening, people walking, or sound from the audience. We do our best to keep these to a minimum  - but that's just how it goes when you're recording in God's world!
