Chancel Choir
Joyful volunteer singers fill the choir stall at Ware Episcopal on Sundays at 10:30 am Rite II worship. They rehearse weekly on Tuesday afternoons from 4:00-5:30 pm in the Chapel of the Christ Child, located in the church’s Parish Hall. Periodically, they support worship on Feast Days with an Evensong (all-sung worship) service. Reading music is not essential, and neither is 100% attendance required. A sign-out calendar helps the Director of Music Ministries plan anthems for weekly presentation. The only requirement is a love of God, a love of music, and a positive attitude. Speak with any choir member or with organist Patti Taylor if you are interested in joining this small group at Ware Church.
