The Christ Church Carol Project
Dear Christ Church community,
It has been a delight to hear from so many of you that you enjoy seeing virtual videos of the choir. For Christmas, I would like us as a community to expand on that idea and have as many of our community as possible joining together to sing Joy to the World! There is no need to have any vocal training; if you can sing in church you can sing for this. The goal is to have many voices so that the contribution of individuals cannot be singled out. Beth and Charlie have already agreed to lend their voices and I hope many more of you will as well!
You can find the music and audio track you will need here. You may sing the melody or the harmonies as you feel comfortable.
All you need to make this recording is a smart phone. Use headphones to listen to the audio track through your computer and then use the camera app on your smartphone to take a video of yourself singing. The set up is that simple!
If you have any questions about this project, I will be holding Zoom “office hours” On Sunday, December 14th from 6:00-7:00pm. Join the meeting at that time by clicking the Zoom link below. Or, you can always reach me by email at lauren@ccpvw.org.
All videos should be emailed back to me by Sunday, December 20th.
I look forward to singing with all of you!

Christ Church Choir
All are welcome to join Christ Church Choir regardless of past experience.

About our organ
|
In 1987, Christ Church undertook an expansive renewal project for the church grounds that included the construction of the carillon, renewal of the church building, and a new pipe organ. The project was called “Vision 87” and was partially inspired by the church’s 30th anniversary. Christ Church’s Visser-Rowland Op. 97 was funded in part by a generous donation from Mr. Jaques Littlefield. The instrument was dedicated at an Evensong for the celebration of the Feast of All Saints in 1992. Nine years later three additional stops, the III Scharff (BW), 8’ Hoboe (BW), and 8’ Trompet (PD) were added, completing preparations set up in the original construction. Today, the instrument remains an active part of the Christ Church community and is frequently used in both worship and concert settings.
