Dear NRUMC Praise Team,

Remember, Sunday Services start with a warmup & rehearsal @ 10:15am in the Choir Rehearsal Room; please be on time so we can rehearse all of the music before the 11:15am Service; thank you. One half hour after the completion of Service we will return to the choir pews and prepare music for the following Sunday.
Thank you for your preparation, timeliness and continuing support.
Best,
Isaac,
NRUMC Music Director

The Welcome Song
From now on, we will be singing the full version of The Welcome Song with Verse 1 (posted at this link location). I will have printed copies for everyone; thank you – Isaac

(BACK TO CHURCH SUNDAY) 9/21/25
we will create a larger ”Festival Choir”, include a guest musician and sing special materials for this occasion. In order to make this extra special, we will have a couple of rehearsals for this on 9/10 and 9/17 both 7pm at the church.

I am still waiting to see what materials are approved for this, but I have created a webpage to have everything we all need to make this a musical extravaganza!!!
