The Choir of the Nations will once again practice this Friday, September 18 starting at 6:00 p.m. in the choir room at University Baptist Church.

Please note the different room! The college ministry is using the chapel for a special event that evening - so we will be in the choir room which is behind the chapel. The entrance to the choir room is off the courtyard. So use the walkway between the main office and the music/chapel building then turn right.

We very much need everyone to be there on time or else we will not be ready to help lead worship on Sunday morning.

Anyone who likes to sing is welcome to join and participate in our choir!
