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!

Day 9 - Thoughts from 10K Feet

In a few hours, Choir Tour 2014 will come to a close but as we told the kids last night -- today still counts! We have no performances but we still have plenty of opportunities to be ambassadors for Christ, to connect with one another, and the people we encounter. As I write this from 10K feet in the air, I can hear John Headley chatting with the gentlemen next to him on the plane. I've heard singers seated near me responding to travelers' questions about who we are and what we do. (Our choir tour Tshirts often invite questions -- one of the great things about them.) I can see VIPs sitting and chatting with new friends from the choir... kids who barely spoke 2 weeks ago are now good friends.

This is the good stuff. It's such a gift to be sitting here, surrounded by people I love so very much to serve a God that I love so very much.

Thank you for walking this journey with us. We hope to see many of you at our Homecoming Concerts on Saturday, July 5 at 2pm and 4pm at Friendship UMC, 22 West Friendship Road, Friendship, MD. We're going to try and put the concerts on Skype so far-away friends and family can tune in. We'll update this blog with that info as soon as we figure it out.

Love,
Holly
