Come Make Music with Us!
Dear North Point Church Family,

I hope this message finds you well and filled with the joy of the Lord. As the Director of the Music Ministry, I am thrilled to extend a heartfelt invitation to each of you to join our vibrant and uplifting music ministry.

Choir and Worship Team: Our choir and worship team are always looking for passionate individuals who love to sing and worship. Whether you have years of experience or are just starting out, we welcome you with open arms. Your unique voice and spirit can help us create a powerful and moving worship experience for our congregation.

True North Youth Choir: We are also excited to invite our youth to join True North, our dynamic youth choir. This is a wonderful opportunity for young people to express their faith through music, build lasting friendships, and develop their musical talents. If you know any youth who would love to sing and be part of this amazing group, please encourage them to participate.

If you are interested in joining our choir, worship team, or if you have any youth who would like to sing with True North, please do not hesitate to contact me. I would be delighted to provide more information and help you get started on this rewarding journey.
Let's come together and make a joyful noise unto the Lord!

Blessings,
Mike
