This year, I joined the choir at a small, local Presbyterian church. I sing Soprano 2! I grew up singing, but haven’t had a choir to sing in for years. 

I found the church to be quite inclusive, having a woman as pastor and being an LGBTQIA+ affirming church and denomination. I later became a church member. I’ve also gotten to volunteer as liturgist, which is the person who leads the congregational readings. 

In June, we performed a choral cantata with a chamber orchestra.
