We can’t wait for this one! On Palm Sunday (April 9) our Dresden Kids will help lead worship!

Think of it like one of those old school children’s choirs you were forced to be a part of as a kid. Only, we’re going to make it super fun! We’re recruiting the giant group of kids here at Dresden, partnering them with our praise band, and ditching the kids choir robes from 1988 that are probably still in the church basement.

Starting Sunday, March 13, following our Sunday morning worship gatherings, we will have a brief practices with our praise band! It shouldn’t last longer than 10 minutes!

Here’s the song we’ll sing together. Listen to it at home and jam out with your kids.

You spoke and we listened! In an effort to make our church staff more accessible and available for the needs of our growing community (did y’all see how many folks were crammed into the sanctuary on Sunday???), we’re changing up our office hours.

Starting next week you can catch Pastor Dan and Abby in the office Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 8am to 2pm and by appointment on Monday and Friday. See you next week on Main Street!
