Our Music

Worship through music and sacred tradition.

Music Ministry

Music in Our Worship

Music is a vital part of our worship experience at St. James the Less. Through hymns, choral music, and instrumental performances, we engage our voices and hearts in praise and prayer.

Choir

Parish Choir

The parish choir rehearses on Thursday evenings from 7:00 to 8:30 and Sunday mornings at 9:20am. This Choir provides the primary musical leadership for worship for the 10am services throughout the program year (Sept-June) plus a few special services. This choir is open to singers 9th grade and up. All that is required is a love of singing and the willingness and ability to participate in rehearsals. We sing a wide variety of repertoire that includes church music dating from the late Renaissance through the 21st century.

Bells

Our Bell Choir

The Handbell Choir rehearses on Thursday evenings from 6:00 to 6:45. We play several times throughout the program year. This is a fun and happy group of people who enjoy making music. An ability to read music at an elementary level is helpful but not required.

Hymns

Our Children's Choirs

We have two very active children's choirs! The Cherub Choir is open to children for Kindergarten to 2nd grade and the St. Cecilia Choir is open to children grades 3 – 5. This choir rehearses on Sunday mornings at the beginning of Sunday School and sings several times throughout the year at the 10 am service.
