Zion Senior Choir 2015-2016 Rehearsals will begin promptly at 7 p.m. and end by 8:15 p.m. on Wednesday evenings. During Advent and Lent we usually rehearse on Wednesday nights after the evening service, starting by 8 p.m. Please sign out for both the rehearsals and services you anticipate missing, so that I can make plans accordingly. Thank You! This schedule was designed with the realization that change and flexibility is inevitable. Although the music selections listed here may be revised from time to time, we will follow closely the dates and times indicated. I'm looking forward to a great sixteenth year with you. Remember to pray for your fellow choir members; also remember that the reason we are here is to assist in worship, giving all glory to God.
