Grace Presbyterian Church

Music


The Music Ministry at Grace Church has enjoyed a long tradition of excellence.   Throughout many generations, the members have supported and encouraged a rich and varied program.  It is the goal of the Music Ministry to meet the needs of the worshipping congregation and provide a positive musical experience for those volunteers who so generously support the program for six choirs with their talent and time. 


Chancel Choir

The Chancel Choir sings every week at the 10:30 Service under the direction of Nora Berlinger, and the Choir hosts the annual "Messiah Sing-In" during Advent.  The Choir rehearses Thursday evenings from 7:30 to 9:30 in the Lettinger Music Room.  No audition required.

Cherub Choir

The Cherub Choir is an opportunity for our youngest children to participate in the music ministry under the direction of Mrs. Nancy Huttlin.  For children ages 4 to 6 (and including 1st Grade), the Cherubs sing at our 10:30 Worship Service approximately once a month.  Rehearsals are Sunday mornings from 9:15 to 10:10 in the Camel Room.

The Charis Singers, directed by Nora Berlinger, is an intergenerational music group singing a variety of Christian Music.
