Join the Summer Choir!

Sunday, June 28 and Sunday, July 26 at 9:15 am in the Choir Room

This is great opportunity for prospective choristers to give choir a try, and for current choir members to reunite! We will sing works by two living composers:

  • Grayston Ives’ setting of the beloved eighteenth-century hymn text O for a Closer Walk with God.
  • John Rutter’s setting of God Be in My Head, a prayer from the Sarum Primer (1514), one of the earliest collections of English devotional texts.

If you are not on our regular choir email list, please contact Karl Robson to receive scores and helpful recordings.

About the Organ


The organ in St. John's Church was renovated and expanded as part of a major building project in 2000. Work was done by Michael Hart and Bard Wickkiser and the staff of the Di Gennaro-Hart Organ Company of Washington, D.C. Learn more.


The Music Fund


The Music Fund supports expenses outside St. John’s yearly music budget: hiring additional instrumentalists and singers for worship, sponsoring concerts, purchasing miscellaneous items such as music stands and choir folders, and seeding initiatives such as our new Second Sunday Evensong. You can donate either online or by check payable to St. John’s Church with “Music Fund” on the memo line. Thank you for your support of the Music Fund.
