Living Christmas Tree/Oratorio Choir

Members of the Chancel Choir, supplemented by members of the Charles Wesley Singers and other singers from the community, join to present two major concerts during the church year.  The Living Christmas Tree Concerts are performed in late December during the celebration of the 12 Days of Christmas.  A spring oratorio concert is presented in May.  Both programs are accompanied by orchestra and often feature vocal soloists.

Summer Choir

Adult and youth singers are invited to attend a 20-minute rehearsal prior to the second worship service and sing the anthem.  Visiting friends and family are invited to participate, and singers who cannot attend rehearsals during the course of the year but wish to sing are especially invited to join during the summer.
