Sanctuary Choir, Directed by Ken Turvey - The Sanctuary Choir meets in the Choir Room and Sanctuary and is well known for its music-making and singing the Gospel through the medium of music. No auditions are required, only the ability to sing and great desire to learn and rehearse all styles of music. Beautifully well-done music does great things for the performer as well as the listener. The Sanctuary Choir is a very friendly group! Several social activities occur during the year. They have a great time together. They rehearse on Wednesday nights, nursery provided, at 7:30 PM and usually sing at each 11:00 AM Service.
