Vocal Ministries

Adult Chancel Choir

The Chancel Choir is a group of about 40-50 mixed-voice singers who sing in four-part harmony. A wide variety of music is shared. With practices in the sanctuary on Thursday evenings from 7:00-8:30 pm (except in the summer), anyone who likes to sing is warmly invited to be part of the choir, no experience or audition necessary! The basics of music and singing in a group are taught. We generally sing at one or two services per Sunday, and take one Sunday off per month. We also prepare and present a seasonal concert, usually during Advent. If you are interested in joining or have any questions about choir, please contact Chrade Younkin, Director of Music Ministries. We're a very supportive and encouraging group of people -- plus we have a lot of fun!

Cantors

At Holy Spirit, cantors are vocalists of all ages who help to lead the people’s song in worship, usually at services when the choir is not scheduled. The community is often in need of individuals to serve in this capacity. In addition to helping lead congregational song, cantors often also share vocal solos in worship, or are combined to sing duets or small vocal ensembles. There are many opportunities to prepare and present vocal music at our weekly and special services, and from time to time at weddings and memorial services. Rehearsals are scheduled individually as needed. If you are interested in exploring opportunities to serve as a cantor at Holy Spirit, please contact Chrade Younkin, Director of Music Ministries.

Lorica

Lorica is a small vocal ensemble that has been singing together for decades!  Led by Mary Schroeder, this group of long-time friends and musicians offers music about once a month in worship, plus usually offers an evening of music during Advent.
