Music is a central part of spiritual life at St. Clare’s.
StorySong - Tuesdays from 4:15-5:00pm in the Family Room
All children in Kindergarten and younger (and their parents!) are invited to join us for a time of listening to stories, prayers, and finger plays led by Xan Morgan and themed singing and music instruction by Charlotte DeVries. Our StorySong choir will lead us in worship by singing for us in church regularly. So come join us as we grow in faith together while we experience God’s love and then bring it home and share it with the congregation.
Children’s Choir - Tuesdays from 4:30pm-5:15pm in the Sanctuary; snack served at 4:15pm
All children in first through sixth grades are welcome to participate! This high-energy choir features music in various languages (including sign language!), fabulous games (musical and non-musical) and a joyous time of celebration in making music as an ensemble every week. Led by John Goodell.
Youth Ensemble - Specific Thursdays throughout the year at 6:30pm in the Sanctuary
This group is open to children grades six through high school and features both choral and instrumental opportunities. The ensemble meets on specific dates to prepare for specific services throughout the year. Additionally, every other year this group presents a fully-staged musical in the spring. Led by John Goodell.
Tone Chimes - Specific Thursdays throughout the year at 6:30pm in the Sanctuary
Open to everyone in grade six and older, this intergenerational ensemble uses our three octave set of Tone Chimes to prepare instrumental anthems for both the 9am and 10:30am services throughout the year. All levels are welcome, and no experience is necessary – Tone Chimes is a great opportunity for families as both parents and children can participate at the same time! Led by John Goodell.
StC Ensemble – Specific Thursdays throughout the year at 6:30pm in the Sanctuary
Participants in this group are the “house band” for our intergenerational 9am service every Sunday. All instruments are welcome, and participation is a great way to help lead worship through music every week. Saxophones, flutes, guitars, and more! Led by John Goodell.
Adult Choir - Thursdays from 7:30-9:00pm in the Sanctuary
Our Adult Choir is open to anyone in high school or older! Music is diverse in both level and style, and we have (this past year alone!) presented works by Archer, Thomas, Tye, Mendelssohn, Britten, Mozart, Scroggins, Rutter and many more! The ability to read music is a plus, but not required to join this fantastic group of young at heart musicians who help lead worship every week at our 10:30am service. Led by John Goodell.
