Hannah has been music director for SPC for X years and has brought such energy, joy and musical talent to our church.
Summerville Presbyterian Church Music Director Hannah Duff has been leading the church choir for X years and believed that the group was up for a challenge.
This was the 4th time that Ohio's Angel Choir has performed at Summerville.
They are a volunteer choral ensemble comprising of high school girls and boys from the First Presbyterian Church of Granville, Ohio. (Granville is a village of 4,000 located in central Ohio, 25 miles east of Columbus, the state capital.) Granville also is the home of Denison University, a leading national independent college of liberal arts and sciences where the Hires (Joy Hire is choral director for the choir) and the Carters first met.
The group was founded 30 years ago by Joy Hire. Meredith Needham has served as accompanist for the group since 2001. An extremely accomplished pianist, she is in demand as a piano soloist and accompanist throughout central Ohio.
Many members of the Angel Choir have been singing in the church’s children’s and youth choirs since first grade. Many also belong to the elite choral and instrumental ensembles of Granville High School. The choir not only participates in worship once a month, but also sings in the Granville community for civic groups and special programs
Over the last 25 years, the Angel Choir has recorded eight well-received CDs of sacred anthems and Christmas carols. The carols sung during Summerville Presbyterian Church’s Live Nativity is from one of their Christmas CDs. Donations raised from these recordings have funded the choir’s biennial summer singing tours.
One of the Angel Choirs favorite places to sing, Summerville Presbyterian Church, was the first stop on the group’s six-day “Summer Singing Tour 2024.” The Angels have sung at Summerville three times in the past, during tours in 2012, 2016 and 2022.
We want to thank all who attended from xxxxx of Carboliciuos for providing our delicious evening meal and to host families who opened up their homes for overnight accommodations!
Once again, we had another truly successful garage sale thanks to all our volunteers, donators, and customers. We know the community places high value on our sales and we're glad we can provide so many people with products they find fun, decorative and useful. See you in the Fall!
Once again our church community came together to present, what has become to so many, an annual family event!
We can't thank enough our volunteers too numerous to mention here, but here are a few key organizers.
Debbie Carter, Cindy Smith and Linda Hayes are the masterminds behind SPC's event, but they are by no means the only ones who have made our Live Nativity such a success for these last nine years.
Doug Angold (far left) and his amazing, hard-working crew have assembled the scenery year after year through sun, rain, sleet, snow, and wind! We can't thank them enough for their tireless dedication!!!
Not only has Cindy Smith helped direct the Live Nativity for the last several years, but she's the creative force behind all of our costumes. Without her we'd be standing around in jeans and sweatpants! Thank you Cindy!!!
Church member, Brian Leavitt has devoted his time and effort along with his assistants to provide lighting and sound (music from Ohio's Angel Choir). He has the experience and know how through his business BRL Entertainment and we thank him tremendously!
Like any proper church event, food is always a focus and non more so than the feeding of our Live Nativity volunteers. Karen Angold and her assistants have warmed our hearts and filled our bellies with delicious food to help us through this event. Thank you Karen!
With the help of over a dozen volunteers, we had our best sale ever! From pick-up of various items at people's homes, to sorting, cleaning, pricing and selling, our volunteers do so much to make our sales happen. This bi-annual event is something our whole congregation gets behind.
Year after year, members of the Irondequoit community and beyond, attend our sale and find some fantastic deals. When it's all said and done, we invite charitable organizations to come in and "shop" for items their members need. Once again, thank you everyone for another successful sale!
Presented by SPC and Friends
On Sat. 4/1, SPCC performed Faure's beloved Requiem featuring Eastman guests Alex Little, organ; Emma Millian, violin; Lauren Case, soprano; Meg Brilleslyper, alto; Alex Nick, tenor; and Ömer Kayhan, baritone. Composed between 1887 and 1890, the Requiem features lush harmonies and memorable melodies and bears a message of eternal rest and consolation for the living. The choir began diligent work on the Requiem in January, and delivered a prepared and sensitive performance on Saturday! Congratulations to all our participants as well as SPC Music Director Hannah Duff, MM Conducting Candidate '24 | BME '22
Eastman School of Music. Well done!!!
A big thank you to all who attended our 8th annual Drive-thru Live Nativity! The weather cooperated and we had well over 200 vehicles visit our display with some going through multiple times!! We're grateful for the support of our wonderful community of Irondequoit as well as our amazing community of Summerville Presbyterian members. Thanks to all who participated in one way or another to make this year's event the success it was. We look forward to next year to share the story of the Birth of Christ. Merry Christmas to all!!!
Our Fall Garage Sale was a huge success! Thanks to all the SPC members, family and friends who set up, donated items and shopped as well as the community at large for attending this event!
All proceeds benefit the church andl items not sold are made available to various organizations around Greater Rochester. Thank you!
After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the Angel Choir of Granville, Ohio began their 2022 concert schedule by traveling to Irondequoit to perform at Summerville Presbyterian Church. Upon arriving, the group was fed dinner and had some time to relax before their performance. Under the guidance of Joy Hire, the mix of high school students and alumnus presented a beautiful selection of music that fed our souls. Many thanks to all who contributed to the dinner and/or housed the students overnight. We hope to continue this tradition by hosting this wonderful group for many years to come!
On June 27, we baptized James Peters and officially welcomed him into God's family. In baptism, we celebrate that God calls and claims us as God's own, washing us clean of our sin and welcoming us in love before we can know or understand what any of that means. In baptism we are adopted into God's family, made one with Jesus Christ, and made heirs to Christ's promise of life in his name. In baptism, we as the gathered family of God make promises, too - to help raise this child (whatever their age!) in God's light, so that they may know and experience and pass on Christ's love. Welcome James!
The congregation of SPC is excited to host our spring sale. We will have our usual variety of great stuff at great prices, including furniture, household items, knick-knacks, books, children’s toys, jewelry, and much more.
Our priority is to keep our customers and volunteers safe. Face coverings are recommended but not required for those who are fully vaccinated. All sale items will be on the upper levels of the church where there is better air circulation. There will be a one-way traffic flow and the number of shoppers in the church at the same time will be regulated.
The sale offers affordable items to those in need in our community. Also, unsold items are donated to not-for-profit organizations in the area. The congregation of Summerville is proud to provide this important outreach.
SPC has been hosting garage sales since 1975. The money raised goes to the missions and the operating budget of the church.
