Our choir leads the music at the 10:30 am service on Sunday mornings. We are an all-volunteer choir of about 12 to 16 voices who love to sing and worship God through music. We rehearse from 7 PM to 8:30 PM on Wednesday evenings. The choir season currently runs from September to June with ample opportunities for solos and small group performances by singers and instrumentalists during the summer. We characteristically sing an offertory anthem in the classical, Anglican tradition and provide sung leadership for the hymns. If you have a passion for singing great music and for our Lord, talk to Abe Fabella or any of the choir members and come sing in the choir!

Our bell choir rehearses from 6 PM to 7 PM on Wednesday evenings. We perform on a beautiful three-octave set of Schulmerich bells about once every quarter or more at the 7:45 am service and occasionally at the 10:30 am service. Although musical ability is very much appreciated, no musical background is necessary. You will be taught all you need to know. All one needs is the enthusiasm to learn a new way of musicmaking by ringing to God's glory. If you are interested in joining the bell choir, talk to Abe Fabella.

Our first concert of the inaugural season of our concert series was a huge success! On November 2nd, 2007, Marcela Pan, mezzo-soprano and Abraham Fabella, pianist, performed a recital of art-song and opera arias to an appreciative audience of parishioners and community members. Many thanks to those who attended and showed their support. Contact Abe Fabella if you would like to support our community concert series.
