Musical Tradition
|
St. Mark's has long had a long tradition of "raising a joyful noise unto the Lord". That tradition continues to this day through the faith, hard work, and dedication of our choir members, our organist and our choir director. The kinds of music which can be heard in St. Mark's covers the entire spectrum of musical styles, ranging from classical pieces sung in Latin to spiritual, folk and contemporary selections. Our music adds a wonderful depth to our Sunday services. Choir rehearsals are on Thursdays at 7:00 p.m., from September through June. All are welcome to attend.
