MSMH -- MENNONITE SOCIETY OF MUSICAL HERITAGE
The Mennonite Society of Musical Heritage is a group committed to preserving the musical heritage of the Mennonite church. Based in Denver, we sponsor several choral events each year. Our mission is to preserve the long-standing traditions of Mennonite singing in worship and in all aspects of our lives. The uniqueness of the Mennonite musical heritage can only be maintained if future generations are given the tools to learn, sing, and to enjoy great music.  If you would like to be added to our mailing list, please fill out one of our post cards on the table behind the sanctuary. Comments and suggestions are encouraged.  Visit our website at www.mennomusic.org.
