New Robe Update:

The sample robes are in, and it’s now to the fine tuning!  We are making our lists, checking them twice, and we’re going to make sure that these new robes look nice! This is a process that takes a bit of time, but we want to make sure it’s right.  We will be right on schedule to unveil the new, up-to-date look in September.  If you would like to help support the Union Church Choir and Union Church Handbell Ensemble in their new look, we are always welcoming of donations for this wonderful cause.
