The Choral Packet costs $20 and includes a selection of music for choir directors to add to their library of music resources. We will sing through parts of the pieces in the Choral Reading session (see schedule), so you can get a feel for the music and discuss each piece. There are a limited number of packets available! They are reserved by registering online. If you do not reserve a packet in advance, you may add your name to a waiting list at the registration table. Any extra or unclaimed packets will be made available at the beginning of the Choral Reading session.
Presented by Laurey Lee
This is the proposed selection for this year’s reading. The final list is subject to change. For a printable version click here.

I hope you love these songs as much as I do! Please keep in mind this counsel from the Church
Handbook of Instructions: “Music in church meetings should help members worship, feel the sacred spirit of the Sabbath, and feel the spirit of revelation. This music should not draw attention to itself or be for demonstration. Some religiously oriented music in a popular style is not appropriate for sacrament meetings. Also, much sacred music that is suitable for concerts and recitals is not appropriate for a worship service.” Blessings to you as you bring the spirit into your congregations. If you wish to share feedback or suggestions, send email to: laureyrlee@gmail.com
