Messiah’s choir is an all-ages non-auditioned choir; the only requirements are a love of music and a love of learning! We meet to challenge our voices and musical ability in a fun, supportive environment that welcomes all levels of experience. Singing in choir is a wonderful way to connect with friends and community, experience the presence of God in music, and offer that experience to the congregation in bi-weekly anthems.
Rehearsals: Wednesdays 7-8:30pm, Hazel Dell sanctuary
