“Who are these people? Capitol Hill Missionaries?”

“Dear PoPville,

I’ve lived near Eastern Market for several years and have repeatedly been stopped by (mostly young women) “on their way to bible study”. The first couple of times it happened I thought they were lost or asking for directions. After the first couple of times anytime they stop me on the street I tell them very firmly to stop harassing me.

They have stopped me (always when I’m alone) while I was on the phone walking at night, while I was running with headphones in, while I was carrying groceries etc. all situations where I’m clearly not inviting anyone to come chat about god and I’m walking alone. Who are these people? Have others had this experience? What church are they affiliated with?”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
