Musicians:

Sunday morning Divine Services at Saint Barnabas have traditionally been enriched by a small ensemble of students, whether from the university or in high school or grade school, who are able to serve by playing their instruments to accompany the hymns.  To all prospective LSSU students: if you play an instrument, whatever it is, please bring it with you and play for us!
