Good morning everyone! I just wanted to post an entry and tell everyone that our 8th annual Singing School is back on! (It was cancelled due to Hurricake Ike). It will be held on Saturday, November 22nd, 2008.

After dinner in the Community Center, there will be additional singing of the new songs, including childrens' songs. Other activities include entertainment of non-spiritual songs from the Harmony Exporters Men's Chorus. All men and boys are encouraged to join in on a couple of selected numbers (Music will be provided). There may also be other types of entertainment and group singing to cap off the day.
What We Need:
We need everyone to RSVP as soon as possible, so we can have enough material for everyone. Please let us know the following information:

You can either leave me a message with all this information to RSVP and I'll get it to "the powers that be" OR you can contact my dad (Wayne Wise) by phone (409-860-5231) or by e-mail (wayneandpaula@sbcglobal.net)
What YOU Need:
The men who want to lead singing will need to bring a pitch pipe. Other teaching aids will be furnished by the singing school. Overnight accommodations can be made at local motels in Silsbee or Beaumont (20 miles away). The church building is located on Hwy 96 South, next to Sonich. Lunch and dinner will be provided at the Community Center by individual members.
I hope everyone can come! We'll be learning lots of new songs and singing out of our supplemental book as well as our Hymns for Worship.
Let me know if you have any questions. If you'd like to see pictures from our Singing School in years gone by, scroll down a couple of entries. You'll have so much fun if you come, so I hope you do!
