The Grace Church Choir
Founded in 1886 as a vested choir of men and boys, it quickly rose to a high standard of musical excellence. The present Grace Church Choir consists of 30+ dedicated men and women with wide ranging choral experience whose repertoire runs the gamut from the early renaissance to commissioned works of contemporary composers. Although the Grace Church Choir exists primarily to provide music for the liturgy, it performs several concerts a year under the auspices of GraceMusic.

♪ The Parish Choir is an intergenerational ensemble which welcomes members from the 4th grade up. The choir sings on the 1st and 3rd Sundays at the 9:30 service with a rehearsal at 9:00 am. As well as learning the music for that morning we also use it as a springboard for brief liturgical and theological discussion which is particularly geared to our young members. Contact Bobbe Wanamaker at 358-5523 or Bob Barrows at 358-1297 ext 13 - or just come up to the choir gallery on Sunday morning. We will begin singing on Sunday, September 16th.

The Joyful Noise Gospel Choir All children 5 years old and up are invited to sing in the Joyful Noise Gospel Choir. This group, led by “Miss Bonnie”, meets on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month at 9:00 am and performs during 9:30 mass. Don't miss the first rehearsal on Sunday, September 23, with a bonus "fifth Sunday" on the 30th!
