Participating in the 218th General Assembly, the Chancel Choir joined forces with the Evergreen Presbyterian Church Choir to sing in a massed choir of 435 voices at the June 22^nd GA worship service.<span style=""> </span>Moreover, the Chancel Choir was invited by the Saint James African Methodist Episcopal Church to sing at their Annual Choir Day, where local and statewide churches sing and share their talents in glorifying God.<span style=""> </span>As a result of this event, it is my goal to further ecumenical work with churches around the area.<span style=""> </span>Growing in its overall musicianship, the Chancel Choir appreciates the support received from the congregation and welcomes new members regardless of choral experience.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The Children’s Choir occasionally provides music for worship services.

Fulfilling the mission statement of the FPC Music Series, the concerts promote varied music to the community as well as increase awareness of Foothill throughout the South Bay, Peninsula, and East Bay areas.<span style=""> </span>In the 2007/2008 season, the first structured, packaged series of early music concerts, comprised of four concerts, were well attended. Providing baroque music at special events, services, and at the worship service at least once a month, the Peralta Consort draws people who appreciate a specialized type of musical genre, as well as musicians into the church community. Increasing instrumentation by one cellist, the ensemble was invited to play at a concert in Menlo Park thereby increasing awareness of Foothill’s music program. Finally, the educational aspect of the Early Music portion of the music program serves to increase awareness of Foothill by having recorder lessons available to children, who will in turn contribute their musical talents to the church and the community.<span style=""> </span>Two of these students will be playing at the worship service in August. Interest in the FPC early music is continuing to grow and prosper.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style=""><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="">Providing varied music to the community, the Music Series continues to grow to showcase talents of semi-professional and professional performers.
