Choir

Rehearsals  — Thursdays, September–May, 7–8pm

The primary voice of worship at Christ Church is that of the gathered people, the assembly. Our choir assists in a number of ways:

• Supporting the assembly, learning the music first to help others find their voice.
• Leading a sort of dialogue with the assembly in the worship service, as in a chanted psalm.
• Singing on behalf of the assembly, raising voices in song to God.

We invite you to join us — for our special Music Series, for the Advent or Easter season, or for the whole year. We are a fun and talented group, and we love to welcome new singers.

Simply come to one of our Thursday evening rehearsals, or speak first to one of our cantors, Robert Farlee or Martin Seltz, if you prefer.

Instrumental Music

As does the choir, solo and ensemble vocalists and instrumentalists support the assembly in worship. Even something as simple as the reverberating tones of our Tibetan singing bowls invite us to calm reflection. Strings, woodwinds, brass, handbells, Cantor Farlee and his African drums — there is a place for you.

Worship

Our worship invites expression of our gifts in many forms:

• Welcome and guide the assembly as we gather,
  as a greeter or usher
• Prepare our worship space as an acolyte
• Proclaim the word from the scriptures as a lector
• Express our response to God as a prayer writer
• Support the assembly in celebrating the eucharist as
  an assisting minister

To serve as a worship leader, contact Phyllis Mattill in the sacristy
on Sunday mornings.
