Serving & Connecting Groups
Sing in the Choir at St. Aidan's!
St. Augustine said, "[one] who sings, prays twice," and what a gift it is to pray and to sing.
The Choir rehearses on Wednesdays at 7:00pm and Sundays at 9am (with reduced rehearsals in the summer). Music on Sundays semi-regularly Bluegrass and Gospel music. St. Aidan’s has a choral scholar program with CU Boulder that brings significant talent from nearby music students to our choir. All are welcome to sing praises and be part of making music! Contact music@saintaidans.org.
