The Mennonite Children’s Choir of Lancaster recently appointed Lauren Pierce as member of its Advisory Board. Along with energy, creativity, and experience with non-profit organizations, Pierce brings an existing connection with the choir. Her son, Elijah, has sung with MCCL for several years and is a current member of Carol Choir, one of the three auditioned choirs.
