Members and visitors to St. Paul's Lutheran Church of Summit Hill were treated to special music courtesy of members of the Jim Thorpe High School Choir under the direction of Mrs. Janet Farra and accompanied by Alex Haggerty. The choir offered a pair of selections during the service to the delight of the congregation. Members were eagerly looking forward to hearing them since it was announced at the previous week's service they would be singing.

"Last time they were here, they were awesome so I'm looking forward to them today," said Tom Vermillion who is President of the Church Council. He added their first performance was in the spring around Memorial Day.After the sermon, the choir sang "Still, Still, Still" composed by Joyce Eilers Bacak. The second selection "What Do The Stars Do?" composed by Sherri Porterfield was performed during the offering. Haggerty accompanied the choir on the piano. Vicar Ben Seibert offered high praise for the group after the service. "[They were] Fantastic. They were clearly well practiced and gracious in giving their gifts," said Seibert.Farra said the group originally was invited to the church back in the spring through their pianist Haggerty. That date led to the booking on Sunday for a return visit. "They have had a busy weekend. Yesterday they performed at the Inn at Jim Thorpe," said Farra. "They put a lot of time into practicing for their performances."She said after the holidays the choir will be practicing for their spring concert which will occur at some point in May.Members performing included soprano LIz Strauss, altos Alicia Brooks and Heather Outwater and tenors Matt Rich and Avery Day. Farra also sang soprano as some choir members were ill and unable to attend.The church served a light luncheon of soup and sandwiches after the service for the singers and members. Next Sunday, the church will hold its annual Sunday School play during the service which begins at 10:30 a.m.
