Praise Team
The Praise Team at St. John’s Lutheran Church provides a musical touch with a contemporary feel during Sunday morning church services. Members of all ages and talents are welcome to join the choir and contribute their voice and/or instrumental talents.
Praise Team typically practices on Wednesday evenings at 5:30 and sings at least twice per month for Sunday worship services as well as contributes to special services throughout the church year, including Lent, Easter, Advent, and Christmas. God has richly blessed this group of musicians and has created a family of voices whose goal is to sing praise to our Heavenly Father.
