Filling in the Blanks Backpack Drive
We invite you to donate new full-size empty backpacks during the month of August to benefit Filling in the Blanks.
One of the best ways to nurture a child’s life is through music, and our church has a musical outlet for all ages! Even if your child isn’t necessarily “musically inclined,” participating in worship through choir builds not only a child’s musical skills but helps them connect with the spiritual teaching from church school. If you are interested in participating or want to register for our wonderful children’s choirs, please reach out to Greer Lyle at greer@godsacre.org.
We have a robust program schedule for Children’s Music and Drama planned for this coming season. We look forward to all the children joining us as we sing together. To register, fill out a form online, click here grab a paper form from Smith Hall.

Spirit Singers
Grades K – 2. Tuesdays, 3:30pm – 4:30pm
Spirit Singers continue building good vocal and rhythmic skills and sing both contemporary and traditional repertoire with Christian emphasis. Spirit Singers sing an opening hymn on the first Sunday of the month and preludes or anthems during the program year. They participate in the Mary Bradley Clarke Benefit Concert and present a musical each year. Spirit Singers enjoy outreach by singing twice a year at The New Canaan Inn.
Joyful Noise
Grades 3 – 4. Tuesdays, 4:30pm – 5:30pm
Joyful Noise sings regularly and leads in service anthems with the Chancel Choir or Spirit Singers as well as solos and small ensembles. The Christian emphasis continues in our repertoire where we fine tune musical skills, vocal production, musical reading, rhythm advancement, and instrumental knowledge through contemporary and traditional pieces. Joyful Noise sings twice a year at The New Canaan Inn, participates in the Mary Bradley Clarke Benefit Concert, and has significant leadership roles in the spring musical.
Junior Worship Team
Grades 5 – 8. Select Sundays at 11:15am
The Junior Worship Team is a great way for kids to continue being musically involved in the church and helps them prepare for when they’re ready to contribute and lead praise and worship in youth group. The Junior Worship Team meets once a month and sings regular engagements with both the adult choir, children’s choir, and on their own. This year, we are going to focus on the concept of worship, and how it enriches our spiritual lives. We are also going to focus on how the act of freely offering oneself in service affects our own worship and praise to God. This year, the Junior Worship Team will join the Chancel Choir for the Lessons and Carols service and Mary Bradley Clarke Benefit Concert.
