100 Years - From Grace We Are United

Music

What is the Chancel Choir?:
A camaraderie of volunteer singers, lead by a Music Director and aided by an Accompanist, who tirelessly give their time and effort to blend their voices together in unending praise of our Lord Jesus.
 

Our Purpose:

We feel called to enliven the service, add to the Gospel message, and make a joyful noise unto the Lord through uplifting Christian music of many varieties.
 

You may join us:

Even if you have never sung in a choir before or are still learning to read music, we welcome you! Free voice lessons are available to new members and you’ll get a Starbucks™ gift card. We usually meet Thursday evenings. Warm-ups begin 7:00 pm in the Sanctuary, then currently we work on Christmas music until 7:30 pm. Rehearsals for Sundays end by 8:30 pm and are followed by heartfelt group prayer.
 

What’s coming up?:

Advent begins to get us ready for Christmas on Sunday, November 27th. We will be singing selections from A Muppet Christmas Carol among other moving pieces. We invite you to join us Christmas morning for a very special service filled with music, love and celebration!
