While the primary musicians for our worship are the members of the congregation, a variety of  musical ensembles, instrumentalists, and soloists present anthems and special music throughout the year to enhance our liturgy, and proclaim the Good News through the ministry of music

The Parish Choir is made up of singers who range in age from older elementary students, to high  school, to adults of all ages. They prepare  music in a wide variety of styles, ranging from Gospel,  to multi-cultural music, to anthems of the English Choral tradition. In 2001, they toured Southeast England. All who love to sing, and wish to learn more about     their faith through songs of  praise are welcome to join.
