Choir - Adult
RAISE YOUR VOICE!	The choir provides a variety of anthems for our worship services, which range from classical to gospel. We will begin regular rehearsals in the Fall. Rehearsals are held downstairs in the choir room from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m., and new members of any voice part are welcome! The ability to read music is a plus, but not required -- just be sure to bring your voice and your enthusiasm for great music. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Sanctuary Choir Director Judith Melander at (612)807-2124. St. Paul's UCC has strived for excellence in its music program for over 70 years. In the course of that time, the Sanctuary Choir has compiled a library of more than five hundred (500) anthems and choral works. Judith Melander is the director and Geoff Olson is the organist. The choir has enjoyed a real sense of family. We party together and support each other in time of trial. We have worked together to put on an annual German pork and sauerkraut dinner which has proved to be extremely popular. Another fund-raiser has been selling soft drinks and coffee during intermission of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra concerts.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the organ fund! While the organ has held up very well since the original organ was built in 1918; it occasionally needs repairs and improvements over and above the normal maintenance costs. Your contributions will ensure that our beautiful organ continues to fill the sanctuary with inspiring sound and musical support for the congregation and choir.
If you have not had the opportunity to contribute yet, please see Geoff after church. For a minimum contribution of $20, you can support the organ and have a free CD of organ music at St. Paul's from the Lenten and Easter season.
The CD also includes a special booklet of photos and text. Special thanks to Tom Hinrichs for volunteering his time to prepare the booklet.

If there is interest, Tom and Geoff are considering future CD's around special themes, such as wedding music, Christmas music, and/or organ favorites. If you have any special musical requests for future CD's, please see Geoff.
