Raise your voice in song!
Woodfords Music extends an invitation for new singers to join the choir as we prepare for the Easter Season!
Our worship theme for the season is Tell Me Something Good!
We are celebrating the truth that love is stronger than fear, that hope outlasts despair, and no matter how heavy things feel, good news is alive in the world.
All voices are welcome in the choir - soprano, alto, tenor and basses!
Short (or long) term commitments are welcome this season!
Rehearsals are held each Thursday evening from 7:10 to 8:30pm.
Our Sunday worship is at 10 am
Did you know???
Science studies show that singing will help your body, soul, spirit and mind!
What a better place than Woodfords Church to do that!
Consider joining us for this coming Easter season!
Our congregation and choir is a welcoming community! No matter who you are, and no matter where you are on life’s journey - you are welcome here.

Woodfords' Creating Community team is embarking on a year-long program in conjunction with the United States Kindness initiative
https://www.usofkindness.org/, which is supported by the United Church of Christ. The plan is to engage Woodfords members and the broader community in completing 250 Acts of Kindness, large and small, in support of building a culture of compassion, connection and unity as the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary.
To kick off our campaign, we will be handing out kindness wristbands and writing words of encouragement and connection in Valentine's Day cards for residents of some area senior living and nursing homes as well as some home-bound.

Kindness!
Waiting for Spring!
