The Children’s Choir, the Bell Choir, the Praise Team, and the Emanuel Choir will all be singing praises to our Lord. What an amazing way to celebrate all our birthdays and also the 506th anniversary of the Reformation because “A mighty fortress is our God. A bulwark never failing. His kingdom is forever.”
