As a Church, we believe in the power of prayer. Intercessory prayer ministers intercede before the Lord on a daily basis, carrying those petitions which are written each weekend in our Parish Intercessory Prayer Book. This is a spiritual ministry for anyone.

Rehearsals are on each Monday evening, 7 to 9 p.m. in the Cathedral. Adults with some experience in choral singing are encouraged to contact the director, Ed Greene.
