Call to Prospers Choir at Mount Calvary
Propers Choir will sing on Sunday, November 12. This informal choir meets before the service on occasional dates to practice pieces to be sung for worship. Propers Choir is an opportunity for those with little or no choir experience to increase their confidence and their love of singing. Propers Choir is an opportunity for experienced singers to lend their voices to lead the congregation in the praises of the Lord, and to assist with surrounding newer singers with their sturdy singing. Propers Choir is a “schedule available” choir which means that you come when your schedule permits. Propers Choir is open also to all children or youth who have been confirmed. Propers Choir takes its name from the parts of the liturgy each week that are specific or “proper” to that Sunday such as hymns, psalms, and introits, selections that this choir will often sing. Propers Choir is led by Mr. Gabriel Edwards and will normally meet a half hour before the service begins in the choir room. Our next date to sing is Sunday, November 12! Meet in the Choir Room at 8:30AM to practice if you can join us!
