Singing is fun and it just might help us save democracy. Look for us at the No Kings Rally. Better yet, come on over to Trinity Lutheran Church on the morning of the rally as we warm up our voices with song before processing to Institute Park.

Come join us. A meal and music to help lift your spirits in these not so peaceful times.
