Welcome to the Cherub Choir Homepage!
Cherub Choir is meant for any child in Kindergarten to 2nd grade. There is no requirement of musical background to join. Cherub Choir meets weekly on Wednesday evenings from 5:00-5:45 pm and sings once a month in Sunday morning Worship. The goal of Cherub Choir is that every child learns musical skills, feels confident in their ability to perform worship anthems, knows that they are loved, and feels welcome. Cherub Choir is directed by Lily Askegaard, our Director all Children’s Ministry & Music. If you have any questions, please contact Lily at Laskegaard@normluth.org or 952.977.9350. We are blessed to have your family apart of the Children’s Choir Ministry at Normandale Lutheran Church.
