MUSIC

Chancel Choir

Chancel Choir is a chorus that provides the music for Sunday worship services. During the school year, join us Wednesdays for rehearsals at 7:15 p.m. in room B40 (in the basement beneath the Sanctuary).

Also, small vocal ensembles are open to anyone for worship participation several times a year.

Free Childcare during Chancel Choir Rehearsal!

 We are now asking parents to submit a childcare request. If you need childcare for our Wednesday night choir rehearsals, we need you to reserve a spot for your child.

• Standing Weekly Childcare Reservation: If you will need childcare every week, you can check “standing” reservation. However, should your plans change, it is your responsibility to email Joy Ferguson by Sunday night at 9 p.m. (prior to that Wednesday night’s rehearsal) if you DO NOT need childcare for the upcoming Wednesday evening.
• Occasional Childcare Reservation: If you do not need a childcare each week (a standard reservation), then you will need to submit a childcare request each week you need childcare by Sunday at 9 pm. Please contact Joy Ferguson via email here if you have any questions. Bookmark this link on your computer or phone for future use!
