Music

Music Director - Carroll Howe

Sanctuary Choir: Being a part of the Sanctuary choir requires commitment and sensitivity to leading worship at our 10:30 AM Historic Church service on Sundays, feast days and special services throughout the year. The Sanctuary choir, however, does not sing on the fourth Sunday of the month when one of our children's choirs sings. Singing in this choir requires a good sense of pitch and rhythm, but does not necessarily require the ability to read music. We rehearse every Thursday night in the Choir room located in the basement of the Office Building. Please contact Carroll Howe if you are interested in learning more about the Sanctuary Choir.

Great Hall Choir: Assists in leading the Great Hall 10:30 AM worship service on the first and third Sundays of each month, plus additional special services throughout the year. Weekly rehearsals are held Thursday evenings in the Great Hall beginning at 7:00 PM. Although an ability to read music is a plus, it’s not a necessity. Please contact the church office if you are interested in learning more about the Great Hall Choir.

Men’s Choir: The Men’s Choir leads the worship service in the Great Hall on the fourth Sunday of the month from September through May. They do not have a scheduled weekly rehearsal, but instead meet an hour before the service for which they sing. Please contact the church office if you are interested in learning more about the Great Hall Men’s Choir.

All Saints’ Ringers: The All Saints’ Ringers is an eleven member, 3 octave bell choir which plays special services throughout the year. Handbell choirs aren’t for everybody. You need to have an ability to read music and you must be committed. Attendance at rehearsals is essential to the success of this group. Please contact Carroll Howe if you are interested in learning more about the Handbell Choir.

Youth Choir: Children in grades 6-12 are invited to participate in the Youth Choir. Rehearsals are held Wednesday afternoons from 5:15-6:05 PM in the Choir room located in the basement of the office building. The Youth Choir helps lead the worship in the Historic Church and Great Hall once or twice a month.

Junior Choir: Children in grades 3-5 are invited to participate in the Junior Choir. They rehearse on Wednesdays from 4:15-5:05 PM in the Choir room (in the basement of the new building). The Junior choir alternates with the Youth choir and sings once or twice a month in the Historic Church or Great Hall. They also lead the music for our Christmas pageant.

Genesis Ringers: Under the direction of Carroll Howe, the Genesis Ringers are a group of dedicated young ringers in grades 4 and up. They rehearse on Mondays from 6:30-7:30 PM in the Parish Hall. Please contact Carroll Howe at 301-663-5625 if you are interested in learning more about the Genesis Ringers.
