Peachland Ward Choir
We invite YOU to be part of ward choir!
Beginning August 17th, we meet Sunday afternoons at 12:15 in the Relief Society Room (excluding Fast Sundays and Stake and General Conference Sundays).
Joining a ward choir is being part of a community of like-minded people who appreciate, and even prioritize singing praises to God. But we can, and do, accomplish much more.
Together, we learn:
- notes and words
- the mechanics of singing as a group, beyond the accuracy of each individual note and word
- how to communicate those notes and words in a way that amplifies their meaning for all who participate and listen
- how to sing together to communicate with one voice, a voice to which others can join their hearts
Our diligent efforts culminate in a beautiful blend of voices and hearts that glorify God and magnify the talents He has given to each of us. Participation is not about how well we can sing individually, it's about a desire to serve, to use and magnify talents, and to enjoy the gift of sacred music in our lives and shared experiences. It's about giving glory to God for His goodness and mercy, and we are rewarded with increased happiness, improved physical and mental health, and many other blessings. On many levels, singing changes us.
Studies show that singing together truly does make us happy. Really!

We'd love to share the joy with you. 'Come Be Happy With Us!' Adults and youth welcome.

In short, WE NEED AND APPRECIATE EACH ONE OF YOU and miss you when you're not with us!!!
