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!

Last Day in Moscow

It's hard to believe... the last note has been sung. We're packing our bags and preparing for the long journey home.

Today, VIP sang two concerts -- one in the morning at a retirement community and one in the evening at Bolshoi Hall (sponsored by the American Center.) As they have done consistently on this trip, the choir sang incredibly well and won over their audiences. Kalinka continues to be a hit, and the people for whom we have performed really appreciate our other Russian piece, "Skylark." They seem to really like all our music, and have commented on how "American" it feels. Fitting comments on this 4th of July!

VIP spent the afternoon purchasing souvenirs -- be on the lookout for a lot of Russian hats.

See you soon!
