Come sing with Summer Choir!
Summer Choir Singers are any singers who wish to sing in the choir on any chosen Summer Sunday morning. They are welcome to come to the Chancel promptly at 10:00 a.m. and rehearse that morning’s anthem. Summer singers wear no robes, sing the Anthem, then join family and/or friends in the congregation for the remainder of the service. All singers are welcome! This Sunday, the choir sings "Order My Steps" by Glenn Burleigh, with Nicole Taylor, soloist.
