The 2011 Communion of Choirs event scheduled for April 28-30 at Trinity United Methodist Church in Salisbury, MD has been canceled.   Due to many church scheduling conflicts with Easter programs this April, we were forced to make the difficult decision to cancel this year's event.  Our heart, to offer Praise and Worship of Jesus Christ in words and music, is ever present and we will contact all interested Choirs as any future events develop.


Note - The 2010 competition was canceled due to severe winter weather

In November of '09, members of the competing Communion of Choirs were invited to form a combined choir to accompany Sandi Patty at the opening performance of her national Christmas Season concert tour in Georgetown, Delaware. It was an exciting and rewarding event and we expect to provide our contestants the opportunity to participate in other combined choral programs in the coming years.  For highlights of our combined Communion of Choirs performing with Sandi Patty click here.
