- Leaders: Sue & Marshall Genter, and Jennifer Andrade
The NOT-YET-READY-FOR-PRIME-TIME SINGERS is a ministry that usually begins with dinner (at someone’s home), and then goes out to visit shut-ins and nursing home residents. Dinner (when we have it) is at 5:15. Afterwards we leave to sing at 6:30. Ostensibly, the purpose of the visits is to sing “to” our hosts, but we always find that our visits “with” our hosts leave us all enriched.
