Join the Choir this Fall
Join the Choir this Fall
As we approach the beginning of the program year, we are looking forward to creating a wonderful experience in the music department for interested parishioners.
This fall, we are planning to increase the size of our choir and are looking for volunteers to join in making music to support our later worship service on Sunday mornings. You do not need any special experience or music reading ability, and we welcome everyone who has any interest in music or singing to join us. As part of the rehearsal process, we can teach you how to read choral music while also placing you near an experienced singer who will help you learn and grow. Everyone will be encouraged to sing at their own comfort level and grow at their own pace while having section leaders to guide you.
The choir presents a wonderful opportunity not just to participate in singing and to learn more about music but is also a chance to build community with fellow parishioners. Choir members often report that others in the choir become some of their closest friends in the church and become part of their trusted circle both in and out of the parish. If you are looking to get more involved in the church but haven’t quite found the niche for you, perhaps it will be the choir. We would love for you to come and try it out when we start our near choir year on Sunday, September 8.
While more details will be announced in the coming weeks, the choir will meet on Sunday mornings in between the services to prepare for the later Sunday service and for future services. You do not have to commit to singing every Sunday, as we know that many people have other obligations.
We hope that you will plan to join us as often as possible for this community of fellowship as we create joyful music and make a difference in the lives of parishioners as they worship. As the choir grows, there will be opportunities for further rehearsals and training. It is important for the entire parish to have strong musical leadership in worship. In order to support that goal, why don’t you consider joining us in a loving community environment of spiritual music making?
If you have any questions or would like to share your interest, please contact Justin Smith at the church office, by email [email protected] or after church on Sunday morning. We will also be at the ministry fair on Sunday, August 25 to welcome you into the program.
