Feel free to come with questions about what this committee does or just come to hang out for cookies and conversation. We hope to see you there! Questions? Email rrohloff001@luthersem.edu.
Come and Sing with RFS Drop-In Choir [In-Person]
Do you love making a joyful noise and singing with your peers? All students, faculty, and staff are welcome to join the choir to sing at Monday’s chapel worship. We will gather in the chapel for a 15-20 minute rehearsal after worship on Saturday. If you are unable to attend rehearsal, you are still welcome to sing on Monday. Contact student director Carolina Bowen, cbowen001@luthersem.edu, with your voice part preference so we have an idea of who will be joining us. Everyone singing in the choir will gather at 10:40 a.m. on Monday to do a run-through with our chapel musician prior to the service.
