After a 6 month COVID-break, Sunday morning Newkestra with John is back. John is a hirsute, patient, funny and talented ukulele teacher and leader.

Mask up if you are singing with the lead singer. You know, you can’t resist singing, so let’s be hygienic about it (at least until there is a vaccine).

Please read our COVID Conditions for Participation (before attending).
