Hallelujah!! A wonderful concert from the Saginaw Choral Society and the Chancel Choir of First Presbyterian Church. There is still time to make a contribution to help cover the costs from Handel's Messiah and to allow the concert series to present future events. Cash or checks marked for the concert series and sent to First Pres and will be used solely to support these events. The series relies on the generosity of those who are able to give. Thank you!
