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!

Hallelujah Chorus Plans for VIP Alums, Parents, Friends

All VIP alums, parents, friends, and congregation members who know the Halleleujah Chorus are welcome to join the choir in singing this traditional favorite on Easter Sunday!

Here's the game plan:

9am - VIPs assemble in the Fellowship Hall for warm-up in formal uniforms.

9:20am (approximate) - enter the sanctuary and sing the Hallelujah Chorus at the end of the 8:30am worship service

9:35am - Breakfast!

10:30am - Hallelujah Chorus warm-up in the Music Room

11am - Worship service. We'll sing "O Worship the King" PLUS the Hallelujah Chorus at the end

The Hallelujah Chorus is a new tradition -- we sang it last year, and anyone in the congregation (parents, VIP alums, etc.) who knows this much-loved piece is welcome to stand up and sing it with us. It's a piece that really requires a lot of voices, which is why we're showing up early to sing it at the 8:30am (with the Sanctuary Choir) and why the Sanctuary Choir is sticking around through the 11am service to sing it with us.
 
Please feel free to join us for either or both services!
