the Douglas County Chamber Singers
I’ve sung with the Douglas County Chamber Singers for the last 17 years. I started off singing with the Alto section, but moved over to the Tenor section several years ago – I’m officially “one of the guys.”
Right after Labor Day we started preparing for our 2018/2019 concert season and our first concert is coming up in a few weeks. I hope all of my Douglasville friends will plan to attend a few of our concerts this season.
Our first concert of the season is the “Messiah.” We’ve sung Handel’s Messiah for several years now. If you’ve ever sung any of the Messiah, I think you’ll enjoy the opportunity to sing along with us. Please come!
“Messiah Concert”

Douglasville First United Methodist Church

6:00 p.m.
Douglasville First United Methodist Church
6167 Prestley Mill Road
The Chamber Singers is dedicating this concert to the “Glory of God” and to the Douglasville First United Methodist Church in appreciation of its support over all the years we’ve been in existence. I think the Douglasville First United Methodist Church has one of the most beautiful sanctuaries in the county, with its lovely stained glass windows and high arching wooden beams. It is so inspiring to sing there and I’m thankful for their kindness in letting us use their facilities.
We will be joined by Trey Clegg, a superb Atlanta organist, who will accompany us on the magnificent pipe organ at the church – you can see the organ pipes behind us in the picture above. This beautiful instrument is the only remaining pipe organ in Douglas County.
The Methodist Church is currently gathering funds to rebuild the organ console, so the Chamber Singers are going to donate all donations we receive at the Messiah Concert directly to the DFUMC Organ Fund. I hope you’ll come to enjoy the music and to support this worthy organ rebuild project.

NeedleNerds can paint too!
We know that we are a creative bunch, but some of us have multiple creative talents!
Dayna H. moved to Douglasville in the last year and has been busy, decorating her new home. When Dayna needed some perfect pictures to hang on her newly painted walls, she painted her own!
