Village Chorus for Children & Youth

The Village Chorus for Children and Youth at Middle Church is a program that educates children about the significance of community engagement in promoting racial, LGBTQIA+, and economic equality through music. Participants learn a diverse repertoire, including pieces from Beethoven, the Beatles, and Broadway, which helps them build confidence and receive support from the congregation. The chorus performs monthly during worship services and has showcased their talents at venues like Joe’s Pub at The Public, The Lower Eastside Girls Club, and the New York Public Library. Rehearsals are conducted via Zoom on Sundays from 1:00 to 2:15 pm, running from late September through June. While there is no cost to join, children should have a passion for music, a strong desire to learn, and the ability to read.

For more information or to join, interested individuals can contact the director, John Del Cueto.

We believe in the power of Love. Period.

Through Love, we are each created in God’s image and filled with the Divine Spark. No matter whom we love, no matter how we look, no matter where we are on our journey, God’s imprint is in every person of every race/ethnicity, every gender, and every sexual orientation. We believe God speaks many languages and is calling us on many paths to peace—Shalom. We believe that Love put on flesh—brown, poor, Jewish baby flesh—and came to live among us. We believe God lives among us still; we are the living body of Christ. We are the hands, feet, and heartbeat of God. We believe the Spirit of God calls us to freedom, and we are not free until all of us are free.
