Under the direction of Music Director/Organist, Chris A. Bowman, the Chancel Choir welcomes singers from high school on up. The Choir sings a variety of music at the 10:00 service. Rehearsals are every Sunday at 9:10 between the services and Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. Choir membership is open to all who like to sing; an ability to read music and some experience in choral singing is helpful but not necessary. New members are always welcome! With its splendid acoustic, three manual, 75-stop Allen Renaissance Organ and Yamaha grand piano, the sanctuary of Saint Barnabas is the perfect place to "Sing unto the Lord!" If you are interested in joining the Chancel Choir contact Music Director, Chris A. Bowman.

on which the soul poises
for a flight forth into space..."
