Under the leadership of Steven Phillips, the organization has emerged as Sarasota's second largest choral group.

The children’s song "He Cares for Me" in the new hymnbook "was a contribution that I could make to the Lord even if nobody else saw it," said the author and composer, Kenneth S. Schank.

New shows by Jen Tullock, Jordan E. Cooper and others have a common theme: You can walk away from the church, but the songs stay with you.
