Hi Believers Band!
Due to a conflict in the reception hall, tomorrow night’s rehearsal will be in the choir room. Therefore, you do not need to bring a music stand. Enter the building through the “Music Wing” doors. Please remember to follow the GFUMC COVID-19 protocols:
“Based on current CDC guidelines, masks and social distancing will be optional for those who are fully vaccinated. Everyone who is not vaccinated should continue to wear masks inside the building and practice social distancing.”
Our next performance is 11:00 am Sunday, July 4th GFUMC “Patriotic” traditional worship service. The choir will be wearing GFUMC robes and the Believers Band will be in all black. We will rehearse with the choir prior to the performance on either Tuesday, June 29th or Wednesday June 30th.
