ST PAUL'S CHOIR FALL REHEARSALS BEGIN THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 2 AT 7:00 PM  We encourage everyone who likes to sing to join us in this unique and rewarding ministry.  No auditions are required and the rehearsals cover music long in advance of its performance, so there is ample time to get comfortable with the repertoire.  We also focus on the technical aspects of singing, so even if you haven't sung in a while, you will be gently guided toward using your voice to its greatest potential.  We heartily welcome singers in all sections.  For further information, call the music hotline at 561 278 6003 or email Dr Keith.
