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 10 Best Things About Singathon



Thank you, thank you to everyone who came to Singathon, sang, played, and helped run our event! In reflecting on this busy and full day, here's my list of the 10 best things about Singathon:

10. Solos by our youngest VIPs all the way through our alums!

9. Watching the VIPs cheer one another on - especially the Ortiz family

8. Reuniting the 2008-2010 soprano trifecta - Kate, Kerry, Tara

7. Realizing that altos know hal-to, even when they're out numbered - Ashley, Katherine, Ellie

6. Guest musicians - RockFish band, Norm & Mary Flora, Dean Winter = awesomeness

5. 100% tenor/bass attendance from the 2004 crew

4. The incredible work from parents and singers - special thanks to Jenna & Kaitlyn, and your families!

3. The giddy grins on the faces of alum parents.

2. Hearing 11 years of VIP sing "Blessing."

1. Reconnecting with people who mean the world to you.
