Learn By Leading: The Choir of Boys & Girls

Help your children, grandchildren and young friends learn the time-honored traditions of Episcopal worship and the importance of music by enrolling them in the Choir of Boys & Girls.  This hands-on experience will foster their participation in and understanding of our worship and will train them in singing and music.  The choir assists in leading the service approximately one Sunday a month.  The only requirements for membership are a fluent reading ability (of text, not music), an enthusiasm for singing, and a willingness to have fun.  Rehearsals are on Thursday afternoons from 4:30-5:15, beginning September 25th.  For more information, please contact Philip or use the online Church School registration form which includes an option for Choir participation.
