What is the overall purpose
of this Group?
The purpose of the Chancel Choir is to enhance the
worship service and experience so that the message
for the day is reinforced and made more powerful
through music. Working together through music preparation
and presentation, choir members experience a deeper,
more meaningful communion with God and one another.
In what activities is the
Chancel Choir involved?
Chancel Choir rehearses on Thursday evenings from
7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and Sunday mornings from 9:15
a.m. to 9:45 a.m. The Chancel Choir sings for Sunday
services at 10:00 am from September to mid-June.
The Chancel Choir provides music for other special
services throughout the year, i.e., Christmas Eve,
Thanksgiving, Easter, and others. The group may also
present other special events such as concerts and
the Maundy Thursday Cantata.
How can I get involved,
and how much time can I expect to spend?
Let's try each other out. Come to a rehearsal and
sing along with the choir. If you don't
know what part you sing (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass),
we'll help you figure it out. Prospective members
should be able to match pitch and rhythm. Experience
singing in school choir(s) and/or other church choir(s)
and the ability to read music is a plus, but not
required. Members may learn to read music by attending
the pre-practice music class, and through experience participating
in Chancel Choir. The general time commitment is
two hours on Thursday evening and about two hours
on Sunday morning. Extra time is requested for special
events (as listed above).
Whom do I contact to join or get more information?
Contact Daniel Hooper, Music Director,
