The Choir at Trinity Church
A Message from Our Choir Director
Greetings, members of Trinity OPC. I pray you are well and that you have had a good summer "in the Lord."
Now it's time to look ahead and consider what the Lord may have for you during this church year. Undoubtedly many have already done just that, but I want to ask you to think about the possibility of singing in Trinity's choir.
There is little in the Church that quite resembles a choir. Whereas there are times when folks are rightly separated because of age, gender, marital status, church membership, etc., that does not exist when it comes to the choir. All are welcome and all contribute to doing something beautiful to honor our great God. We seek to lift Him up and draw attention to Him when we bring our offering to a worship service.
Maybe this is the year for you to join our numbers. As usual, we are particularly in need of men, though more sopranos and altos are absolutely encouraged to join us. How wonderful it would be to have 12 to 15 singers in the choir!
Rehearsals begin September 14 at 7PM in the sanctuary and run for 90 minutes. We take off one Thursday per month so each one can catch his or her breath. And this December the choir from Calvary OPC (Glenside) will sing with us on Christmas Eve. It should be a terrific occasion.
Thank you for your careful consideration. I/we look forward to what God will do in and through us this year.
The Old Testament Psalmists tell us repeatedly to sing to the Lord, to praise Him, to glory in His holy name (Psalms 30, 33, 66, 95, 98, 100, 105, 126, 149, 150, etc.). The choir, in response to these admonitions, like the Levites of old, seeks to do so by contributing to the morning worship services at Trinity one or two times each month.
Additionally, the choir participates in special services throughout the year. For instance, the ensemble contributes two or more anthems to Good Friday, Easter, and Christmas Eve Lessons and Carols services.
The choir rehearses Thursday evenings from 7:00-8:30PM - usually taking one Thursday off each month. The group also enjoys summers free of rehearsal obligations.
