We believe music is an integral part of worship, and we have many opportunities for involvement.
The Sanctuary Choir have begun their new summer rehearsal schedule.
During June and July, there will be no rehearsals on Wednesday nights;
instead, the choir will meet at 8:30AM every Sunday to learn an anthem for the 9:30AM service. The choir is not auditioned, and
ALL ARE WELCOME
to come sing with us. In fact, if you've been thinking about joining the choir, this is a great way to get your feet wet!
Music Committee
Music plays an integral role in our worship together. Each Sunday we celebrate and express our faith through the singing of hymns, the choir anthems, and organ selections. At various times throughout the year, the bell choir lifts us up as well.
Purpose:
Established to provide coordination between the choirs, the music director, the senior minister, and the Deacons
Music Committee Mission Statement:
The music committee seeks to give members and friends the opportunity to express their relationship to God through music and to experience the fellowship that music can create. Our goal is to offer music programs that aid worship and that offer inspiration to church members and the community at large.
What we do:
The music committee provides guidance and support for the church’s music programs and for the music director.
Who we are: June Durkee, Amy Rollins, Bruce Cole, Mike Fletcher, Jean Knowlton
