Music Ministry Choir Director: Matt Smith music@abidingpresence.org I feel very blessed to be working in such a great church community with such a talented choir. We have started working on new music and we hope to begin performing those pieces very soon. We are still looking for more choir members as the season continues on. We are always open to new, excited members who love to sing and want to get to know the choir. We meet on Wednesday nights at 7:30pm and have a wonderful time. Even if you have never sung before, or aren't sure about the time commitment, please attend a rehearsal. Even singing for one week is better then not singing at all. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me or give me a call. Campus Ministry Abiding Presence's campus ministry is a joint venture with the Student Affairs office of Oakland University and St. John Fisher Catholic Church. We have entered into this partnership with St. John Fisher in an effort to expand the reach of this ministry and to provide additional opportunities for spiritual growth, fellowship, worship, and community service for our students and the entire community at OU. We are excited to add this partnership to our growing list of outreach ministries as we seek to share the abundant life of the gospel message in our community. | Women's Ministry Coordinator: Liz Bevier Mary Circle is an active women's group at Abiding Presence Lutheran that meets the second Tuesday of each month at 7:30pm in the Church Lounge.
