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!

Photos!!!

On Saturday, Maddie compiled a few photos from our trip. A lot has happened since then!

The choir performs the song “Kalinka” at a concert. This song seems to be a hit with most of our Russian audiences, who love to clap and sing with us.  
The choir, standing with audience members from our concert at the Christian University, where we stayed in St. Petersburg. In the picture, you can see some of the gifts that we gave to the Spring Center, which is run by Grace United Methodist church here in Russia. Representatives from the center are also with us in the photo.
A group of Russian youth from the camp here in Voronzh. When we arrived, they put on a talent show for us, which included dancing, singing, and a few skits.
Kyle took a minute to pose with this statue, which we all thought looked remarkably similar to him!
Photobomb! The senior girls and Holly kindly jumped into the Brought family photo in front of the Church of Our Savior of the Spilled Blood.

VIPs Charlie and Nick dash through a “trick fountain” in the garden at the Peterhof. The boys couldn’t get across fast enough, got caught in the spray, and ended up getting pretty wet.
