St. Andrew's Episcopal Church

Advent Choir Practice
2025-11-19, 2025-12-03 19:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 8630 Refugee Road, Pickerington, Ohio, 43147, United States
Are you or someone you know interested in singing in the choir but cannot make a long-term commitment to sing? If so, then I invite you to consider joining the choir for the Advent/Christmas season. This is a wonderful time of year to sing songs of preparation and celebration of Christ’s birth. Having additional voices in the choir at this time of year is also very helpful, as some of our regular members will be gone during the holiday.
We especially need lower voices….Basses and Tenors…but any and all voices are welcome!
There will be no Choir Rehearsal on Nov. 12th while Eric is on vacation.
We will start rehearsing Advent Music on Wednesday, November 19.
Music for Christmas Eve will start December 3.
There will not be choir rehearsal the week of Thanksgiving, November 26th.
Feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions.

Unwrapping Christmas

Thursday evenings

For most of us, the Christmas story is woven into our emotional fiber as well as our spiritual DNA. But has the relentless commercialization of the manger scene obscured the transforming power of what really happened on that starry starry night? Beginning Nov 13 at 6:30 p.m., and continuing for five weeks, join Pastors Sally and Jim for conversation that may challenge and invigorate your perspective on an ancient tale.
