Every chorister shares a passion for singing and praising. It is this passion that brings us together. It calls us to practice every day and drives us to strive for our best. Though our location and members change, our passion for what we do is constantly bringing the choir together. My passion grows every time … More A uniting passion, by Elizabeth Hogue

During my trip to Wells, I had never felt so close to God. When in the Cathedral I felt as if I was close to heaven. Every time I sung the responses I felt that God was right there sitting next to me. It felt good to be with my friends away from my parents. … More Close to God, by Nicholas Hagen

Neverland This is where monsters are fought and dragons befriended. Where Prince Charming and the seven dwarfs lived. Here is the place where imagination sings from the mountains. Here is where our story begins. Our story is one about a faithful band with songs in their hearts and love in their smiles They spread the … More Neverland, a poem by Emma Shealy

My favorite piece to sing in Europe was Song of Wisdom. The experience of singing it in Wells was awe-inspiring because of how after a long note you could hear the echo and it would remind you of the thousand years of history the church had. It was also amazing to think of how you … More Song of Wisdom, by David Shealy

“Awesome” may be the most over- and mis-used word in modern parlance, but it was spot-on for our experience at Wells Cathedral.  You could not help being filled with awe while worshipping God in that ancient and venerable space, as many of our choristers have already written.  But I had another experience, both in worship … More Simplicity and calm, from Doak Wolfe

There is a famous line from a poem by Walt Whitman that goes, “the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.”  All we get is a verse nothing more or less.  Now this can seem very disappointing to some.  All this suffering, love, that is all just for one line of a … More Contributing our verse

Family is an important word in my life.  It is a sign that brings love, acceptance and patience into a group and that is what I feel when I am with choir.  I must admit, I was very freaked out when I set foot on the plane, but I glanced around me and I realized … More Family, by Kate Falvey

It’s totally impossible to capture the experience of singing one service in Trinity’s choir, let alone being in it full-time, in words.  I’m leading with that grand statement so you’ll know that even if I go on about this trip for several pages (which is perfectly likely), I still won’t have adequately explained it.  And … More

Some things are just meant to be; they were written in the stars and in every heart by God Himself before we were even born.  He puts people in places and times for that reason.  when this happens, it proves to me that he sees and listens to us and is pleased. We have been … More from Cameron Vipperman

Our job in the choir is to praise God and help others praise God as well.  Saying this as a member of the choir, we don’t get to listen to the words being sung to us all that often.  Though we don’t get to listen that often, we do talk about the words before services, … More From paper into praise, by Mazie Goodlett
