Youth Choir

Sign Singers

This talented group of 7 to 17 year old young people enjoy using sign language to compliment vocal and instrumental music as they express praises to God; testify of His wonder, love and goodness; and inspire others to believe in Jesus Christ as Savior! In addition to learning more about another language (American Sign Language, finger spelling, gestures, nonverbal communication, etc.), these young people have an opportunity to participate in discussions in which they learn the significance of the religious messages in songs and develop an appreciation for the lyrics of sacred music. The Sign Singers' calendar is developed throughout the year based upon special invitations and regularly scheduled events at St. John. Rehearsals are on Fridays at 7:00p.m. when there is a need to prepare for ministry. The group typically renders programs and visits settings where individuals are confined, such as nursing homes, places of incarceration, hospitals, senior citizens' housing developments, facilities of those who are physically handicapped, and homes of individuals who are sick or unable to travel with ease. Parents volunteer to support the group's needs for transportation and designated attire. All young people are welcome to minister with the Sign Singers of St. John. Contact Person: Mrs. Mary Hawkins

The Praise Choir's mission is the same as that of the Sign Singers. However, it is a ministry for individuals who are 18 years old and older. These adults participate in the same outreach ministries as the Sign Singers, but the Praise Choir also ministers regularly on the second Sunday of each month - providing praise and worship music at the beginning of worship services. The Praise Choir participates in Bible study sessions in order to relate the Word with each new selection that is learned. Rehearsals are held on Fridays at 7:00p.m. All adults are welcome to minister with the Praise Choir. Contact Person: Mrs. Mary Hawkins
