The choir rehearses on Thursday evenings, preceded by dinner and social time. New members are always welcome. Anyone interested in joining is encouraged to send an inquiry to the Director of Music and Organist

The Summer Choir combines the forces of the Parish Choir and St. John’s Choir as well as additional members who are unable to make a regular commitment during the program year. The Summer Choir rehearses each Sunday at 9:30 a.m. before the 10:30 a.m. service.
