The choir is an integral part of the worship experience at St. Michael’s. We aim to contribute profound meaning through music that helps illuminate our faith, the church season, and the day’s scripture readings. Music is one means through which we are able to enliven our bodies and souls, lifting them from earth to heaven.
Choir members rehearse Thursday evenings from 7:00-8:30pm, beginning with vocal technique exercises. We gather at 9am on Sundays to prepare for the 10am services. We sing everything from Bach to Palestrina to spirituals. We also sing expressions of the faith in various languages.
The St. Michael’s Choir welcomes all who enjoy singing.
Words from the Choir Members
“Choir affords me an opportunity to bring Sunday into the rest of my week. The music helps to feel more connected to the liturgy on Sunday morning. Rehearsal gives me a night out with like-minded adults that is practically free. Also I don’t have to fret over what to wear on Sunday morning!” — Helen
“To me, being in St. Michael’s choir mostly means glorifying God by singing songs of praise in His name, but it also means enjoying fellowship with the other choir members.” — Carl
