Instant Father’s Day Choir

We are doing another Instant Choir for Father’s Day this Sunday.

The piece is “Fathers” from the Children’s Song Book #209.

We will just do the melody:
Women: 1st verse
Men 2nd verse
All: 3rd verse.

If you are not familiar with this song, the easiest way to learn it is by listening to the recordings provided by the church. Each source has an audio recording you can listen to. You can find them here:

  • The Sacred Music App: Children’s Songbook #209 Fathers
  • Gospel Library App on mobile devices: Music > Children’s Songbook > #209 Fathers

Please join us as we celebrate all the great men in our lives!
