Chancel Choir

Currently the Chancel Choir is working on virtual choir projects and some outdoor/masked singing in small groups. Classes are offered in vocal Technique and sight singing. 


Normally, The Chancel Choir sings every Sunday for our 10:00 a.m. worship service (with the exception of July and August). They rehearse on Thursday evenings from 7:00- 8:15.

Congregational Oratorio Society

On Winter break until January 2021

The Oratorio Society recently completed its first Virtual Project with Benjamin Britten’s Jubilate Deo.
​

Under the direction of Jenny Matteucci, the Congregational Oratorio Society is a community based choral group that performs three concerts per year on the Congregational Concert Series. The group sings a wide variety or repertoire, with a concentration on large scaled works, many of which are accompanied by an orchestra. The Oratorio Society is open to new members, but by nature the program requires a continuing weekly commitment.

We gather as a church, welcoming people of all abilities, backgrounds, ethnicities, and those who are LGBTQ+, to become more aware of the love of God in our lives and to make real that love in the world through worshiping, serving humanity, and seeking to follow in the ways of Jesus.
