Join the Parish Choir
We’d love to have you be a part of the Grace Choir this next season. Our first rehearsal is Wednesday, August 28. A Welcome Back Gathering begins at 6:30 PM in the greeting area with a few snacks and drinks. Rehearsal will follow at 7 PM in the nave.
We are especially hoping to see some basses, altos and tenors join us this season! Rehearsal is every Wednesday, 7-9 PM. We sing for the 10:45 AM Sunday Eucharist. Grace Choir will host our 4th annual Messiah Sing Along on December 15, present a concert on Christmas Eve at 9:30 PM preceding the 10 PM Mass, and perform Faure’s Requiem on March 30. Please send Music Director & Organist Lynn Swanson any questions.
