The Threshold Singers at Groton Hill provide comfort through song for the very ill and their families. Our repertoire of songs is a source of inspiration and renewal for singers, as well. New singers are always welcome!
When invited by a family or caregiver, 2-3 singers visit those in hospice care to provide songs of comfort, healing, and transition. Our songs are non-denominational, but we can include a few hymns for those with a faith preference. This service is provided free of charge.
Threshold Choirs honor the ancient tradition of singing at the bedsides of people who are struggling: some with living, some with dying. The voice, as the original human instrument, is a true and gracious vehicle for compassion and comfort. In 2000, Kate Munger of Inverness, California, founded the first of what she thought would be primarily local Bay Area Threshold Choirs for women who are called to sing at the bedsides of people in need. Today, there are over 100 Threshold Choir chapters across the U.S. and beyond, including co-ed and male choirs.
The Threshold Singers at Groton Hill enables participants to express gratitude for the rich gift of singing in their lives, offer their voices in unique and rewarding service, and bring together a community that knows that true service heals everyone.
