Chancel Choir
The Chancel Choir leads music in worship most Sundays during the fall-winter-spring seasons and two or three times in the summer. This choir sings anthems from a traditional liturgical repertoire and is open to men and women with a heart for worship and love for singing. We also sing for our annual Christmas cantata. Rehearsals are held Thursdays in the sanctuary. Led by Music Minister Lynne Floyd.
