On Sabbath, October 17, rehearsal and worship starts at 9:00am, with lunch at noon and more rehearsal in the afternoon. All events will be at the Sunnyside Adventist Church, 10501 SE Market St., Portland, Oregon 97216 EXCEPT for Sabbath morning, when we’ll meet at the Gethsemane Lutheran Church, 11560 SE Market St., just a few blocks up the road.
OAMC Invites Singers to Join
Men singers of faith of all ages who enjoy singing in a male chorus ministry for the glory of God are invited to join the Oregon Adventist Men’s Chorus (OAMC) for their 2027 season kickoff weekend on Friday evening and all day Sabbath, October 16 and 17, at Sunnyside Adventist Church, 10501 SE Market St., Portland, Oregon 97216.
The kickoff weekend is a prime opportunity to be introduced to OAMC, the new music for the season, get acquainted with other singers, and join in worship, prayer and fellowship over the provided Sabbath lunch and light dinner. One does not have to be an Adventist to join.
Friday evening rehearsal begins at 6 pm, with registration opening at 5 pm to receive music. Sabbath morning begins at 9 am with singing and worship, a break for the provided lunch, and more singing in the afternoon followed by a light fellowship dinner.
What does joining OAMC ask of you? OAMC asks for generally one Saturday afternoon rehearsal a month from October to May, Friday evening and all-day Saturday for the both the October kickoff and the May spring concert (only two Fridays and two all-day Saturdays all year), rehearsing your part with recorded rehearsal tracks – provided for you – between monthly rehearsals, and dues of $55 to help cover the cost of copying music, licensing and rehearsal aids.
