The St. Luke’s Children and Junior Choirs are the first part of Wonderful Wednesdays – a fantastic after school program for kids age 4 (by September 1) through grade 5. This is a program extended to all children regardless of church membership.
In the choirs, the children will have lots of fun while they learn biblical lessons, singing skills, Orff instruments, social skills, and leadership skills. They will learn to be an active part in their spiritual, physical, and mental growth.
The three choirs:
Cherub Choir (age 4 – Kindergarten)
Angel Tones (grades 1-3)
Hope (grades 4-5)
allow the children to be in groups close to their general development level. They sing for several services during the school year as well as present two musical programs and concerts at St. Luke’s and in the Kilgore community.
The choirs are directed by James Vermillion. He has worked with children and youth for over 16 years in both churches and public schools. He has also been the musical director for musicals with the Longview Community Theatre, directed a community production of Handel’s Messiah with orchestra, and been a director in Music Machine sacred music camps for several years in both Kilgore and Tyler.
