  • Weekly choir rehearsals are now underway on Sundays in the choir room following the 10:30 service. We welcome all voices age High School and up to join. The choir sings for the 10:30 service and occasionally for the 8:00 service. Choir is a great way to make new friends, to enjoy fellowship, and to further your music education. We have several fun events planned for the fall including choir and orchestra music for Rev. Emily's installation as Rector and a Christmas Party at Daniel and Elizabeth's home in Baltimore. If you have any questions, please speak to Daniel Weatherholt, Director of Music or to a member of the choir. Daniel can also be reached at dweatherholt@stpeterspoolesville.org.
  • Do you play a musical instrument? Daniel would love to hear from you! We are looking for ways incorporate special music into worship on Sundays that the choir does not sing an anthem. Youth and adults are welcome to participate! To express interest, please speak to Daniel Weatherholt, Director of Music, or send him an e-mail at dweatherholt@stpeterspoolesville.org.
