Let Your Voice Be Heard

Do you love to sing in the car, in the shower, or maybe just hum along to the radio? At Windermere Union Church, we believe that every voice is a gift from God—no matter how trained or untrained it might be. That’s why our Choir Director, Troy, invites YOU to join us for choir rehearsal every Tuesday evening at 7:00 pm.
