Music has historically been a very important component of worship at SCC. We focus on the congregational singing of traditional hymns and anthems sung by the church choir accompanied by our Organist, Chris King, who plays our historic 3-manual George Hutchings pipe organ. In addition, the sanctuary holds a completely restored Wm. Knabe & Co. piano that is used in services and to accompany hymn-sings. The music the choir sings is traditional Protestant choral literature based on Scripture, hymn tunes, classical works, spirituals, and folk melodies in varied styles from throughout history.
In addition to the anthems, hymns, and responses the choir sings during Sunday worship services, the Senior Choir enjoys other opportunities for fellowship throughout the year at pot-luck dinners, hymn sings, and social events. The choir also volunteers to host fellowship hour on the second Sunday of each month.
The choir meets on Sunday mornings from 8:30 – 9:30 am to rehearse and enjoys a brief time of fellowship before the service begins at 10:00 am. It is very easy to join the choir. There are no auditions or costs or rehearsals in the evenings during the week, and new members are always welcome. If you are interested in joining the Senior Choir, please call the Church Office at (860) 379-4766, or speak to our organist, Chris King at church any Sunday morning.
