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!

The Madness of May

You must think we fell off the planet. Nope - we're still here! Especially since that whole "the world is ending on May 21" bit didn't happen. But May was madness for the VIPs. Here's what we've been up to since our last post:

1.) We celebrated Easter! It was such a blast to unite with our alums, Sanctuary Choir pals, parents, and friends to sing The Hallelujah Chorus.
2.) Our Middle Schoolers had an awesome performance in worship on May 1 and then the high schoolers delivered their own awesome performance on May 22.
3.) We sang at a local Memorial Day ceremony in Deale.
4.) We had a meeting with Middle School VIPs and their parents to discuss some possible changes to VIP's rehearsal format for next year.
5.) We let Holly take a 10-day vacation -- between performances, of course. And when she came home, we through her a surprise baby shower. (Baby Lee arrives this summer while VIP is on break.)
6.) The VIPs had prom, AP tests, SATs, graduation, band/choir/orchestra concerts, and all of the end-of-the-year hoopla that accompanies these major events.
7.) We've been steadily making plans for our last concet (on June 12 at 7pm), Singathon (on June 25), and Russia in 2012!

We're sorry for the lack o'posts but hope you'll forgive us! The VIPs are busy, busy people and we're doing our best to juggle all our STUFF. If you ever need us urgently, feel free to contact Holly or call the church office at 410-257-7133.
