SUNDAY WORSHIP SCHEDULE
In an effort to become more familiar with the new hymnal, the remaining Sundays before Lent, we will use setting four(which was the old setting two in the LBW). Then in Lent we will learn a new setting using the same liturgy for sundays and Wednesdays. After Easter, we will return with the Praise Team and Makeever Liturgy.

LYNDALE CHORUS
Now is the time to give it a try. We’ll all start over together. You don’t have to know how to read music because EVERYONE can sing. We’re recreating the Lyndale Chorus and will practice twice a month on Sunday mornings at 9:15 and sing for worship that day. If you have children in Sunday School, you can rehearse at the same time. No age limits and no experience. Come and see and come and sing. We’ll gather for the first time on Sunday, September 19 at 9:15 in the sanctuary.
