Choirs and Music at LAUMC

Morning Glory

Morning Glory welcomes singers of all abilities and ages. With a 24-voice choir, they have room to grow and are always recruiting! Morning Glory sings a variety of music ranging from renaissance and classical to contemporary and gospel. While voice building and musicality are primary focuses of the choir, it is not to the exclusion of community-building through their spirituality. Rehearsals are on Tuesday evenings, 7:15-9:15pm and before Sunday services. If you are an early riser or want to make sure you never miss a kickoff, think about joining Morning Glory Choir and singing at the 8:00am service on Sunday mornings.
