Virtual choir

The simple gift of sharing our voices bonds us together and heals us from within. Unfortunately, sharing our voices in an enclosed space also shares COVID-19.

Listen to our choir sing “Everybody” by Ingrid Michaelson:

By Jillianne Bandstra

Jillianne never grew out of the childhood “But, why?” stage. This insatiable curiosity led her to get two masters degrees (Adult Ed. & MBA). Jillianne can’t think of a better way to spend an afternoon than listening to someone’s story and getting a glimpse of the unseen history that we all hold. She believes there is beauty and value in all our stories, even if they’re messy. Outside of her work as our Communications Manager, you’ll find her chasing middle-schoolers in her role as a Youth Director and stepping on Legos left by her two young boys.
