As we celebrate our 50th year anniversary, join us as we spotlight song-filled prayer in our community. The melodies may have changed a little over the last 50 years, but we remain a community that loves to sing. In recent years, our MASA process has focused our attention on the enhancing the joy, musicality, and inclusivity of our prayer services. These five programs will help us explore these issues and help us sing our way into the next 50 years. To learn about these events, please see the program list  or download this flyer.
