Church Seeking Musicians

The Lone Star UMC has worship services without music. We really need someone to play piano for our worship service at 11am. We can pay for this service. If you know someone who plays well and can do this, please pass along this info. Thanks, Rev. Dave Avis, 903-639-1599 or davis@umcmail.us
