Choirs The primary goal of our singing choirs is to lead and strengthen the worshiping community's song and to enhance that song through the use of harmonies and instrumental embellishment. Oursecondary goal is to provide choral music for our liturgies which enhances the atmosphere of prayer, worship, praise, and contemplation. At these times our choirs may perform music which challenges their abilities and talents. Members of all choirs have opportunities to combine their talents during the festive liturgies of Christmas, Holy Week, and for other special occasions such as seasonal concerts.
