Ministry Information Sheet
Cantors
| 1. | Description of Ministry | |||
| Cantors lead song at nearly all liturgies. Some also perform as soloists at weddings and funerals. | ||||
| 2. | Frequency/Schedule of Meetings/Activities | |||
| Participation at liturgies is flexible. Cantors submit dates and times of liturgies at which they would like to lead song. Most often these requests are honored; consequently a cantor can be scheduled as few or many times in a two month cycle as desired. On rare occasions a meeting to discuss musical or liturgical concerns, innovations, etc. may be held. Although most cantors provide their own transportation to services, arrangements could be made for chauffeuring to church. | ||||
| 3. | Where do I perform service? | |||
| St. Johns | ||||
| 4. | Who are served? | |||
| Cantors serve all the assembly who worship at St. John's. | ||||
| 5. | Preparation | |||
| Most cantors can read music and have the necessary vocal qualifications to function effectively as a leader of song. A schedule of repertoire and corresponding packets of new music is received one month prior to each Church season. Most cantors pray and prepare for each liturgy individually but rehearsals or tapes of specific music are available when the need arises. | ||||
