"Musical education is not a luxury. It lets our souls run free." - Gabriela Smith-Rosario, Youth Choir member
"Choir has made me feel like a part of the church. Sunday school didn't do that. Sermons didn't do that. Music did that." - Kiernan Majerus-Collins, Youth Choir member
How can I keep from singing?
My life flows on in endless song Above earth's lamentation. I hear the real, though far off hymn That hails the new creation Above the tumult and the strife, I hear the music ringing; It sounds an echo in my soul How can I keep from singing?
