PARKTON ? The Baltimore North Cluster Dance Choir is now rehearsing in earnest for performances during Lent, said Joan Patterson Laufer, who sometimes directs the choir.

Current members are from Bentley Springs, Pine Grove in Rayville, Stabler?s and Mt. Carmel UMCs, all small churches in the cluster of 17 churches. They do most of their own choreography using hymns, anthems and Scripture, and for the past two years have had the help of Phyllis Stonebrook, a member of the Sacred Dance Guild.

?We perform in our own churches whenever possible and appropriate,? Laufer said. Since the dancers are all active church members, they do most of their performances in the summer and on special community occasions such as All Saints Day and at a cancer survivors service.
