Adult Choir
Grace is blessed to have a group of talented voices to lead us in song during our 10:30 Sunday morning services and other occasions. The adult choir loves to sing the many marvelous songs in our hymnal we learned as children, as well as exciting choral music of the great composers, and it shows. It is not unusual for guests to comment that, "They sound like a choir with twice the number of voices!"
If you enjoy singing and want to find out if the choir is the right ministry for you, you will be welcomed with open arms!
Regular rehearsals are held on Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. and Sundays at 10:00 a.m. during the school year. When school lets the children out for summer, rehearsal is shifted to 9:00 a.m. Sunday mornings for a 10:00 service (instead of 10:30).
