Grace Choir
The Grace adult choir is seeking new members. Over the past few years, we have become smaller, mainly through the retirements of several longtime, faithful members. We are in need of new voices so that we can continue to sing His praises. We can use all voices (soprano, alto, tenor, and bass) and especially men. We would also like to extend an invitation to younger members (from high school on up) of our church to become a part of our adult choir. It is important for us to get younger members so that the adult choir will be a part of our church for many years to come. You do not need to be professional (none of us are) or accomplished (we just like to sing). We normally practice on Wednesday nights (but not all of them) and sing the second and fourth Sundays of the month at the 8:00 service. Most practices last about one hour (sometimes shorter).
Our first practice is scheduled for Wednesday, September 23, with the second practice scheduled for October 7 at 7:00 pm. This would be a good time to see what our choir is all about. During our practices, we not only sing, we also listen to the songs which we are preparing. We listen to each other, and we listen to the parts as they are played on the piano. No matter what the occasion (practice or performance), we always seem to have a good time and enjoy the company of each other. We hope that you will come to our first practice and get an idea what our Grace adult choir is all about: singing, worship, fellowship, and a great way to spend some time with fellow members of our church and fellow singers. Please consider joining the adult choir at Grace. Copies of our schedule are available in the church office or by contacting the director.
