CHANCEL CHOIR The chancel choir of Ferrysburg Community Church has held a reputation for many years of being one of the finest choirs in the Tri-Cities area. In a day when many church choirs are fading out of existence, the Ferrysburg group continues to be a strong presence in worship services. The season runs from October until April, and the choir sings a minimum of twice per month. Director Doug Tjapkes chooses an eclectic music lineup that ranges from the classics to contemporary Christian music. A strong camaraderie and mutual support exist among the choir. Pastor Nate Visker labels the organization "one of the church's small groups." It's a collection of diverse and dedicated people who love to sing and love the Lord. Rehearsals are tight, well-regulated, and run for one hour each Thursday evening beginning at 7:30 p.m. |
