RPC Programs
Church Choirs
Chancel Choir
The Chancel Choir, open to all persons high-school age and up, sings each Sunday of the program year (approximately nine months), on the great festivals of the church year, and for occasional concerts or other services. The ability to read music makes for ease of progress, but anyone who can match and maintain pitch is welcome! The Chancel Choir is fortunate to have section leaders (a core of professional musicians) who assist and help to inspire all singers and, by extension, all who worship here.
The Chancel Choir’s regular schedule is Sunday-centered. The usual routine is to begin with warm-up at 9:15 a.m., sing the 10:00 a.m. service, and then have the weekly rehearsal from 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (note: there is time for all to enjoy a bit of fellowship at coffee hour following the 10:00 a.m. service). If you are not able to sing the entire season, participation as your schedule allows is more than welcome. A few rehearsals take place on weekday evenings or Saturday mornings to allow for rehearsing with additional singers or instrumentalists for special events such as Cantata Sunday or concerts.
Please contact Jason Charneski to learn more. For further information, please visit our music page.
Children’s Choir
Stories and Song for Children explores Biblical stories and attendant music for those age 5 through Grade 2. The sessions are held Wednesday afternoons during the program year (mid-September through mid-June), from 3:45 – 4:15 p.m. (a nutritious snack is available beginning at 3:30 p.m.).
Stories and Songs for Children is an opportunity for early elementary- age students to learn about the Christian faith with their ears and their eyes, engage in communal singing, and make new friends.
Please contact Jason Charneski to learn more. For further information, please visit our music page.
