Adult Choirs of St. Margaret's
From September through June, the 9:00 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. services service music and special offerings by the various choirs and musical groups of St. Margaret’s Church. Each Sunday has a different musical focus with the Chancel Choir serving as the anchor choir and offering traditional church anthems. They sing on the first Sunday of the month and currently rehearse weekly on Wednesdays from 7-9pm. Our Motet Ensemble offers music from the Renaissance, Baroque and contemporary eras. They sing on the second Sunday of the month and rehearse weekly on Mondays from 7-8:30pm. Both adult choirs are open to anyone college age and older. They combine to offer music for larger services, including All Saints' Dixieland, Advent Lessons & Carols, Christmas Eve, Easter Sunday and Pentecost. New for 2019 is the Compline Schola, which sings for Tuesday evening Compline services as scheduled. Anyone in high school and above are welcome to join in leading this contemplative service of ancient plainchant and a cappella choral music.

Choristers sing in three ensembles, Spirit Singers Cherubim, Spirit Singers Seraphim and Youth Chorale.
