MUSIC AT ST. CYPRIAN'S

Music at St. Cyprian's dates back to the days when the street lamps were still lit by hand and the pipe organ was pumped manually.  On Sunday mornings, you may find any combination of a choir, cantors, instrumentalists, and even songs performed in American Sign Language.  Do you play the flute, guitar,or another string instrument?  You are certainly welcome to participate in our music program! While our most popular music ministry is the choir, we welcome anyone who is interested in sharing their time and musical talent to join us. 

St. Cyprian's Music Ministry is led by Kathleen Vande Berg and Jerry Gilmer, both active musicians in the St. Augustine community.  Their inclusive approach to music in worship guarantees that all participants will feel welcome and experience the joy of singing together.

CHOIR AT-A-GLANCE

  • Rehearsals take place on Sunday mornings, prior to the church's weekly service.
  • Our choir leads the congregation in hymns and liturgical responses.
  • We sing a wide variety of choir music chosen from folk songs, hymns, contemporary and traditional anthems.
  • We offer opportunities as soloists or instrumentalists, for interested musicians. 
  • We sing for a joyful, appreciative congregation!
