New
This Year!!!
This
year for the first time, a special singing opportunity is being offered
to above average singers in grades 4 thorugh 7 who wish to be part of
an ensemble that serves in worship occasionally. This group
will
be expected to read music and sing in parts. The group will
determine time of rehearsal and the name. For information
contact
Jean Moser.
Jubilate Bell
Choir
For
the children who have completed training in Bell Canto, and any 5th -
7th graders who are interested in ringing. Rehearsal times
are
flexible and not necessarily on a weekly basis. Students are
welcome to join at any point in the year. For more
information
contact Jean Moser.
St. Peter's
Family Singers
Throughout
the year, especially on Faith Circuit Celebration Sundays, you may join
your Cherub and Jubilee singers for the special music. They can share
the music with you and then we will all rehearse with the Sr. Choir
plus the new group for grades 4, 5, 6, and 7. There are
families
who would love to do something together. What better way to be
together, than to sing in joy and celebration?
