"He who sings, prays twice!”

Concert Choir Performance May 6, 2012
The St. Thomas’ music program is comprised of an adult choir of approximately 20 members who sing regularly at the 10 AM service as well as at special services. The program is blessed with a recently restored 1949 Aeolian Skinner organ. We also have Orff instruments available for children’s music.
All are welcome to join this ministry. During the summer months, the choir meets in the Church at 9 AM on Sunday mornings to practice and sign during the 10 AM service. During the months of September through June, the choir meets every Thursday night at 7:30 PM in the church to practice.

Of all the Christian traditions, the Anglican Communion, of which the Episcopal Church is the American manifestation, has nurtured one of the strongest traditions of worship led by choir. In this tradition the choir leads worship through the singing of service music, canticles, hymns, psalms and anthems. As such, the choir performs a sacramental role in worship, offering their gifts from God to the people of God through sung prayer.
It is an honor and a privilege for us to participate in this vibrant music ministry. Our parish supports excellent music and liturgy that is meant to uplift those who worship. Music has a significant role to play in the spiritual life of our community. It has the power to uplift, to teach, to unite, and is an integral part of inspiring worship.
