This Christmas Eve, experience the joy of music and community! Music Director Jennifer Turner is expanding the choir’s role in our candlelit service and inviting singers from the wider community to take part.
We’ll be sharing six beautiful choral pieces that capture the spirit of the season. Practice files will be available so everyone feels confident and supported.
If you love to sing and would like to be part of this special celebration, contact Jennifer at music@jamesbayunited.com

Our Sunday Worship Choir sings once a month from September through June — and everyone is welcome, regardless of experience or ability! Whether you’re brand new to JBUC or thinking of trying choir for the first time, please know that your voice is truly welcome here.
We typically hold two Sunday afternoon rehearsals in the weeks leading up to each choir service, as well as a brief warm-up at 9:45 am on the morning of the service. All rehearsals and services take place in the JBUC Sanctuary. Rehearsal files are provided so you can practice at home.
Ideally, singers attend both rehearsals; however, we understand people are busy — so as long as you can make one of the two, you’re encouraged to participate!
To take part in any (or all!) of the upcoming choir services, please contact our music director, Jennifer Turner, at music@jamesbayunited.com, or speak with her after a Sunday service.
