Youth Music Tour
Every summer the youth music program tours the countryside to spread the gospel through song. The tour is open to all singers, ringers, members of Ruach, and community members. This all-inclusive tour is usually around $500.00 and can be supplemented by fundraising through our Scrip program. Past tours have been to Atlanta, New York, Boston, Chicago and Orlando.
