Letter: Musicians wanted for contemporary worship on Wednesdays

I'm starting a Wednesday night contemporary worship and study session at Ada First UMC from 6:30-7:15 p.m. The first date is tentatively April 2.

I'm looking for some musicians that would be interested in playing modern praise songs with me. You can be in the core group that plays every week or sit in every now and then.

If you are interested, please text me at 567-328-8248 with your name, what you play, and how involved you can be.
