Singing Again at Fairview United Methodist Church
Valley Harmony provided the service music once again for Fairview United Methodist Church in Binghamton on Sunday, September 13, 2015. They sang the same music they did for Christ the King Lutheran the previous week. Pastor Jan wrote, "Thank you for sharing your musical gifts with us. It was a sweet treat." The "sweet" reference was due to the fact that the church always "pays" Valley Harmony in chocolate, but this time the group was also invited to an ice cream social after the service, an offer they certainly did not refuse. Pastor Jan also told founder George Lohmann, "You guys just keep getting better."
