Adult Choir rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., September through June; we also have just-show-up-and-sing choir singing opportunities from time to time (stay tuned to the weekly e-news). Our choir sings repertoire of all eras, from early music to new commissions. As worship leaders during the Sunday morning traditional service and various special services, the choir is integral to supporting congregational participation in worship. If you love to sing, this is a great way to be involved!
