Choir
Under the leadership of our Director of Music, Mr. Douglas Schalin, our Choir provides inspirational music for our services throughout the Christian year with a wide variety of anthems, solos and duets representing many different types of church music both traditional and modern. Special musical presentations are also featured during the year, e.g. at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and Anniversary. On the Second Sunday in Advent, the choir presents its Carol Service or Christmas Cantata.
Choir practices are held each Thursday evening from 7:00 - 8:30 p.m.
