Opportunities to Serve with Music at St. Mark's

St. Caedmon's Choir (9:00)
Rehearsals: Sundays 8:00 a.m.
Contact: Patti Mangis

For those who cannot attend weeknight rehearsals, this ensemble offers an opportunity to still be involved in weekly choral ministry. Most anthems can be learned and rehearsed an hour before the service. The atmosphere is friendly and professional. Experienced or not, this is a great opportunity to minister in choral singing for those with a limited time budget.

We rehearse weekly, developing skills needed for more challenging music, as well as share meaningful prayer and fellowship. Cathedral Residency Tour (optional) in England occurs periodically. Choir season: after Labor Day - early June.
