Vocal Choir

Rehearsals happen on Wednesdays in the sanctuary from 7:00 until about 8:15. All who want to be a part of this ministry are welcome! We typically rehearse pieces 4 – 5 weeks in advance of singing it in the service so that we know it well and if you happen to need to miss a rehearsal, you still will have had the chance to practice it other weeks. If the file does not begin to play immediately, download and then click play.
