Voices will rise to the rafters of the Old Whaling Church in Edgartown, at the second Annual All Church Choir concert Thursday, Feb. 18 at 7 p.m. Church choirs from all over the Island, including the Faith Community Singers, the Federated Church Choir, the Good Shepherd Parish Women’s Choir, the Grace Church Choir, and the United Methodist Choir, will come together for one night. Each choir will present a piece from their regular Sunday repertory, and then join to sing one of Philip Dietterich’s Shaker songs, Come Dance and Sing Around the Ring, under the direction of Peter Boak. They will also lend their voices to the offering song One More River to Cross, with new verses written specifically for the concert by E. St. John Villard.

The event is part of the United Methodist Church of Martha’s Vineyard Ministry of Poetry and Music; a donation to support these services will be taken during the service. For details, call 508-627-2529 or e-mail mvhistory@earthlink.net.
