Memorial Music Sunday honors the memories of those who have passed on before us. Our Chancel Choir sings inspiring choral music to bring hope and comfort to those in our congregation. This year, the choir will be joined by members of GMChorale to offer a variety of music including Stephen Paulus’s The Road Home, Kevin Siegfried’s Lay Me Low, and Dan Forrest’s Agnus Dei (from Requiem for the Living).
