FPC Mission Focus

The Noteworthy Singers

Do you love to sing? Do you find joy in lifting your voice in praise? We're looking for passionate singers to join our church's newest musical ensemble, the Noteworthy Singers!

We're a group dedicated to bringing old, new, and inspiring music to our worship services. We believe that music is a powerful way to connect with God and our community, and we want you to be a part of it. Whether you're a seasoned vocalist or a beginner who simply loves to sing, there's a place for you.

We'll be singing a variety of musical styles, from modern worship to classic hymns, and our rehearsals will be a space for fun, fellowship, and growth. This isn't just about making music; it's about building a community of people who share a love for singing.

Rehearsals are held the first, third, and last Sundays of each month, and the singers will perform the first and third Sunday of every month through May. You can also reach out to Ray Rothgeb at rrothgeb62@gmail.com or 620-331-0108 with any questions. Come share your gift with us and help us make a joyful noise!
