Annual Singing Service set for May 3rd, 2009

Mount Paran will host its annual Singing Service at around 2 p.m. on the 1st Sunday in May 2009 (May 3rd).

Regular services of singing, prayer, and preaching begin at 10:30 a.m., and a pot-luck lunch will follow afterwards in the Fellowship Hall. You’re welcome to join us for this service, too.

But if you can only make the singing, it will, again, start around 2 p.m. (or whenever we get done eating lunch and fellowshipping with one another).

The Singing Service itself is a simple service where everyone present is invited to sing (from their pews) a few hymns out of the The Old School Hymnal in the a capella style (without any musical instruments). We sing for about an hour, and then leave.

If you any questions, you can contact Chris Edwards at 706-717-8171. Directions to Mount Paran can be found here, as well as additional contact information here. I hope you can make it.
