Chancel Choir Centenary Connection Program Is Begun
The Chancel Choir officers approved a formal outreach program to Centenary United Methodist Church in downtown St. Louis at their meeting Thursday night. In addition to providing occasional music for the church, the choir has agreed to the reconstruction of a room in the church for use as a counseling center. First steps for the project will be to develop a work plan. Bass David Givens has agreed to serve as project leader for the reconstruction project. You'll be hearing more about this in the near future. There will be opportunity for choir members with building skills to lend a hand for this much needed project. Bass Maurice Parisien is coordinating the choir's Centenary Connection program.

Chancel Choir Will Provide Music Outreach in Fall
The choir will provide a very special outreach ministry to local churches next fall. On a Sunday in October, the choir will split into four smaller choirs and provide worship music at four St. Louis churches simultaneously. One of the groups will sing at Centenary and another will stay at Manchester with the remaining two in the loft at other St. Louis churches. This will be a unique opportunity for the choir to provide community outreach.

Chancel Choir To Adopt An MUMC Ministry
Choir officers approved a plan to adopt a new or "struggling" smaller MUMC ministry. Once a ministry is selected, the choir will provide monetary support and any manpower the ministry might need to carry out its work plan. Look for more details on this project in the fall.

In front of a standing ovation of worshippers and Chancel Choir members, Dylan Briggs was awarded the eleventh annual Chancel Choir scholarship during Youth Sunday worship services in May.

“Thank you so much to the Chancel Choir for this honor,” he said. Dylan is a member of Joyful Noise and has been active in the church's music and youth programs, as well as the media club and the Chancel Choir tenor section. He also participated in music during high school and competed in state music competitions.
