Summer Choir! The chance you've been waiting for! If you've never sung in one of our choirs, or if it's been some time since you've sung, now's the time! Our Summer Choir rehearses on Sundays, from 9:30 a.m. until 10:15 a.m., and sings for the 10:30 a.m. Eucharist. Come and make a joyful noise!
Our Fall rehearsal schedule, beginning Wednesday, August 11, will be posted here soon. Handbell Choir resumes rehearsals on Monday, August 16.

On Sunday, August 1, we at St. James' Episcopal Church, Marietta, will celebrate our patronal feast (Feast of St. James, July 25, transferred). The combined choirs will sing Richard Proulx's anthem, "The Way of St. James." It is an important piece for a great parish occasion. Please come.

 Welcome to Saint James' Music Program!
At Saint James', our Music Program offers many opportunites for ministry and service through music, for people of all ages and all levels of experience. Singers and instrumentalists enjoy fellowship, experience musical growth, and participate in Christian formation through regular rehearsals and participation in worship. In addition to the members of our various choirs and instrumental ensembles, parishioners and guest musicians regularly provide instrumental voluntaries during worship. A wide range of instruments appear, including piano, harpsichord, strings, flute, brass, bagpipes, guitar, and percussion.

"One who sings, prays twice".
Just think about the opportunities for prayer you'd have as a member of one of our choirs! Saint James' Choirs are wonderful opportunities to participate more fully in the worship life of the Parish, to learn about music and our worship, and to enjoy fellowship opportunities with your fellow Saint James' parishioners. And Saint James' has just the right choir for each and every one of you, whatever your abilities and experience. Please scroll down and visit our Choirs page to learn more. You'll find that a warm welcome awaits you in any of Saint James' Choirs!
