MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE

Ever voice was made to praise Him. 

A free, non-denominational Christian seminar for everyone who has ever been afraid to sing out loud. Maybe you mouth the words. Maybe you go quiet when the music starts. You're not alone, and you're not stuck. God made your voice on purpose, and singing is something He invites every one of us to do. In one evening we'll look at what Scripture says about the joy of singing, then walk through the simple mechanics of building a voice you can be proud of. 

What we'll cover: 

1. Why We Sing. The Bible's case for lifting your voice
2. How the Voice Works. Breath, tone, and pitch made simple
3. Finding Your Range. Where your voice wants to live
4. Singing Together. Blending in without disappearing
5. The Joyful Commission. Taking your voice back to the pew

When: Wednesday, September 9, 2026 - 6:30 to 8:30 PM
