RONAN — The Mission Valley Children’s Choir will begin its seventh year on Tuesday, Oct. 4 at the Faith Lutheran Church, 406 5th Ave. SW in Ronan. Refreshments and “together time” will begin at 3:40 p.m., and rehearsals will be held from 4 – 5 p.m. every Tuesday. The choir is open to children from the Mission Valley in grades 2-6. Choir directors are Mrs. Cathy Gillhouse and Pastor Seth Nelson, accompanied by Wendy Sanders. Refreshments will be served each week and participation is free of charge.
Pastor Nelson or Gillhouse will walk the children who attend K. Wm Harvey to the church. They meet at the flag pole in front of the school.
It is the directors’ goal to expose the children to many different styles of music throughout the year, ranging from multicultural, spirituals, folk songs, show tunes, patriotic, sacred and seasonal.
Gillhouse is the former Ronan School Choir teacher and director of the Ronan Show Choir. She taught music for 41 years, has played harp for the University of Montana, and has been in many Port Polson Players productions.
Pastor Nelson has been participating in choirs for 26 years. He composes and performs his own music and has had several years of teaching experiences. He has also sung internationally. He will direct the choir and accompany the choir on guitar and drums.
Gillhouse and Pastor Nelson are very excited about directing the choir for its seventh year. They hope it continues to be a fun and educational activity for Mission Valley children.
