The Chorus was organized in 1957, for the purpose of promoting male harmony. The Chorus is a non-profit corporation, with no political or religious affiliations; just members from all walks of life with one common bond-- a love of male musical harmony.
Purchase your tickets from Ralph Mauriello. 100% of the proceeds will go to SOV.

How Stephen Ministry Works
The best way to understand how Stephen Ministry works is to learn about three groups of people involved in this ministry: Stephen Leaders, Stephen Ministers, and care receivers.
This week we'll learn about Stephen Ministers.
Stephen Ministers are congregation members trained by Stephen Leaders to offer high-quality, one-to-one Christian care to people going through tough times.
A Stephen Minister usually provides care to one person at a time, meeting with that person once a week for about an hour. Twice a month, Stephen Ministers gather with their Stephen Leaders for supervision and continuing education.
