Chancel Choir Contemporary Music & Drama Children's and Youth Choirs Bells and Chimes Special Music

Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.                    Psalm 33:3


Music is a vital and active part of our church. It provides an inspirational expression of our faith, not only during Sunday morning worship services but for special and social events as well. It provides opportunities for all of our members, from our very young to our more senior members, to praise the Lord in song, with bells and chimes, and with instrumental music.

CHANCEL CHOIR

The Chancel Choir is open to all Senior Highs and adults. The choir is under the direction of Brian Russell and actively participates in the traditional Sanctuary service from September through June. For special occasions and special selections, the Chancel Choir will often be joined by vocal soloists and instrumental soloists and ensembles. Most notably during Lent and Advent, they will expand to a larger Festival Choir. The Chancel Choir rehearses every Wednesday evening.

CONTEMPORARY MUSIC & DRAMA


With the institution of our more contemporary style service in the Chapel, Jim Hoffman coordinates singers and musicians to participate in contemporary and less traditional music. Drama and other worship elements are added as appropriate to expand the worship experience available each Sunday. New and interested individuals are always welcome to join.

CHILDREN'S & YOUTH CHOIRS


The Children's & Youth Choirs are an integral part of our worship as well. The Kids’ Choir is comprised of children from Kindergarten through Grade 5. This choir rehearses on Sunday morning between 9:45 and 10:15. Our Youth Choir is comprised of 6th - 12th graders who rehearse on Sunday evenings at 6:30.

BELLS & CHIMES


Our church is blessed with a five-octave set of hand bells and a three octave set of hand chimes. The Glory Bells is a bell choir of adults who may or may not be music readers. This choir rehearses on Wednesday evenings. Alleluia Bells is a choir of experienced adults and high school students. The Praise Ringers is a group of Junior Highs (grades 6 – 8) who meet on Sunday afternoon for rehearsal.

SPECIAL MUSIC


Fortunately, this congregation is blessed with much and varied musical talent. We are often favored by soloists, both vocal and instrumental, at our summer worship services as well as other special services. The musical talents of our young people are evidenced by their frequent participation in worship services and other special events.
