The Sunbeams is a group of women that provides music programs for seniors.  Through our "tours" we reach nine area Care Centers twice yearly, Spring and Fall.

It's true, we all love the fellowship but most of all we enjoy sharing old songs with the people we see.  Our program format is simple...we sing a 15-minute concert in harmony and follow with a 20-minute DVD sing-a-long, complete with music, graphics and lyrics.  Our mission is to spread God's love through the gift of joyful music from the past. 

Our leader Linda Russell knew it would be so much more fun to visit the homes as a group rather than one individual.  It's true:  all 21 of us receive so much more than we could ever give.  That's the way our Lord works!

Any woman who wants to be involved in this meaningful service project is welcome to participate...no age limit.  We learn the music by rote before we start each tour.

We meet at the church for two weeks to learn the music and then go on tour the following nine weeks....always on Thursdays!

"There isn’t one thing I do not enjoy regarding Sunbeams; this group brings a joyful and fun experience to many residents in 9 different facilities for the elderly.  I am rewarded by the reactions we receive from the residents plus the fellowship our group shares.  We continue to grow in numbers because we gather together to bring smiles to those in need of a pleasant time away from the daily routine.  We get much more than we give."
