Joyful Voices
Joyful Voices is a casual Christian vocal group that sings at worship services on the average of once a month. The group covers material ranging from spirituals and gospel music to contemporary worship music and re-arranged classical hymns. Rehearsals are usually following worship services on Sundays prior to singing during worship. Other instrumentalists, including drums, guitars, horns, etc., are incorporated on an as-needed basis. This is a great way to witness praise through singing that needs less commitment than the Chancel Choir, which meets every Thursday evening in the spring, fall and winter. Contact Pete Van Keuren at 518-860-4826 with questions or for more information.

Voices of Hope is an enthusiastic and fun-loving choral group of 6th-12th graders.
