Music

The music program at St. John's helps the parish community offer its fullest and best to Almighty God at worship by supporting the singing of psalms, hymns and canticles and by providing music for meditation and inspiration. St. John's is blessed by the creative gifts of Darlene James, the Director of Music, by the careful preparation of the musicians of our parish, and by a fine organ. The instrument was built by Fritz Noack and installed in 1963. Handbells given in memory of parishoners augment our music.

Our fine choir has about 20 members who rehearse on Thursday evenings at 7 and on Sunday mornings at 9:15. They sing from September through June on Sundays and feast days, at an annual Interfaith service, and at a local nursing home.

Services of Choral Evensong are held a few times a year, and we hope to reestablish a Children’s Choir to sing at occasional services. Interested singers and instrumentalists are encouraged to speak to Darlene James.
