With music, we express the things that are most meaningful in our lives, and find in its gifts a meaningful ministry of the church.
An important part of our ministry, music and the arts unites people despite their differences. In times of celebration and sorrow, we are brought together through singing and ringing.
Chancel Choir
The Chancel Choir is open to all friends and members of the church who love to sing and who would find satisfaction in rehearsing and presenting music for worship, including special music for the Advent, Christmas, Lenten, and Easter seasons. The Chancel Choir, with conductors Anthony Cabrera and Brandon Mowry, rehearses on Sunday mornings from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. in the Music Room and also from
7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on one Thursday evening every month. These monthly sectional rehearsals provide the opportunity for singers to prepare upcoming anthems. Contact our Music Ministry Coordinator,
Dr. Charmyn Kirton, at CharmynK@gablesucc.org for more information or to be added to the choir distribution list for email updates, specific rehearsal schedules, and worship participation dates. We hope you will become a part of this vibrant community of singers.
No auditions – just show up with a song in your heart and be ready to experience meaningful musical moments!
