Senior Choir 

     Thank you to Tom Rusch and Cooper Wood who played keyboard during November, and who both accompanied the choir, as well.

     Senior Choir-continues to rehearse at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings.  We rehearse and sing in service almost weekly, but there will be some pre-planned days off.  We can always use additional singers and you do not have to make a weekly commitment to be a part of the choir.  High school aged and above are welcome.   

Stories from the Music

     Recently the choir sang the anthem, “When There’s Trust in the Room.”  The text was written by John Thornburg in 2012 for the members of HOLY CITY, a community of creativity made up entirely of members of The Hymn Society in the US and Canada.  They were purposed to create liturgies about what it means to be called, how to value the spiritual gifts, and how to engage in the ministry of justice and peace.  At the close of one of their gatherings, one of participants commented “Well, when there’s trust in the room, lots of things are possible.”  John took that phrase as the basis of the text of this song.

     Mark Miller was the music composer and has a passion for building community through music.  He adheres to Cornel West’s belief that “Justice is what love looks like in public.”  His sacred music is widely published and sung by communities of faith around the world.  You can find numerous YouTube recordings his music.

     This song is available as a congregational song, in addition to being a choir anthem.
