Sumter United Ministries is trying to roll out a new ministry initiative it feels led to lead locally, and now it just needs prospective students and churches to answer the call, according to the agency’s executive director. SUM Executive Director Mark Champagne laid out the vision for its Education Assistance Ministry last week.

Scobee arranged for the CHS choir to sing at the historic church on Sun- day. “I went to their spring concert,” he said, “and was amazed at what I heard. They’re excellent, one of the best I’ve ever heard, better than most college choirs. Deborah is a wonderful director. This is their first time singing at Brick Church.” The choir’s program is a mix of spirituals and songs from the classical reper- toire. Selections will be sung a cappella, Scobee said, and will include Andre’ Thomas’ “Keep Your Lamps (trimmed and burn- ing)” and “Rockin’ Jerusa- lem,” Antonio Lotti’s “Vere Languores Nostros,” the choral classic “Set Me as a Seal” by Rene Clausen and several more. The chamber choir at Crestwood High School is an elite ensemble compris- ing advanced chorus students selected through auditions. While the choir members are mostly upperclassmen, there are a few freshmen. Many of the vocalists have made the South Carolina All-State Chorus, and for many years the chamber choir has been scoring superior ratings at the South Carolina Choral Festival. The current choir travels throughout the country to sing and to compete on the national level. In June 2016, the choir sang the Faure’ Requiem on stage at Carnegie Hall under the direction of Sonja Sepulveda. The choir also performed at St. James Cathedral in New York City.
