Chancel Choir
Choir members are asked to put Jesus Christ first in their lives. Our rehearsals include a prayer time together. Singers who have had previous choral experience are invited to participate with us. We rehearse Thursday nights from 7:00 to 8:30 P.M. A typical annual schedule might include a musical in December and at Easter, and a choir festival at Tahoe in August. An International Bazaar held in November by the choir generates funding for choir members to participate in the Tahoe Conference. The choir generally does not sing during the months of July and August. Contact Carolyn Taylor (343-5798).
