Easter Sunday
All are welcome to join in the singing of Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus” at the close of each worship service (9 and 11 a.m.). There is no rehearsal. You are invited to come forward during the singing of the last hymn to get music and find your place on the chancel platform and stairs.
Third Sunday Choir
All are invited to sing with this allcomer's choir
This is your opportunity to raise your voice in song during worship on the third Sunday of every month. This Allcomers’ Choir needs you! All who are interested in singing will meet at 9 a.m. in the sanctuary choir loft. We will learn the anthem, and then perform it during the 10 a.m. Sunday worship that same day. No experience needed! The only requirement is to attend the 9:00-9:45 a.m. Sunday rehearsal to learn the arrangement.
Please mark your calendars to join us for the upcoming Third Sunday Choir anthems:
March 21 - "Shall We Gather at the River"
April 18 - "On Eagle's Wings"
We have two age-specific groups (Joyful Noise, Youth Bell Choir) and four intergenerational groups (Bell Choir, Ensemble, Chancel Choir, and Third Sunday Allcomers Choir). Occasionally our groups combine to prepare music to present jointly.
For our children, Joyful Noise is a choir which rehearses every Sunday morning and sings during worship once every month from September through June. The suggested age range of this group is ages 6-12.
The rehearsals are rich educational experiences, developing their musicianship through movement, the use of Orff instruments and singing, as well as their understanding of Christian faith. Every year Joyful Noise brings a musical sermon to enrich a Sunday morning worship service. For many in our congregation this is a highlight of our program year. Directors are Jennifer Sellers and Debi Noel.
We have two handbell choirs: Bell Choir, and intergenerational group of ringers who rehearse Wednesday evenings from 5:00-6:30 p.m., and who play during worship once every month from September through June; Youth Bell Choir, (suggested age ten years old through high school), which rehearses Sunday evening from 6-7 p.m. (before Youth Group) and plays seasonally during the program year. Both groups are directed by Jennifer Sellers. No prior musical experience is needed to join either of the Bell Choirs. Theses choirs provide excellent opportunities to learn to read music and to participate in a small, supportive music group.
Ensemble is an intergenerational vocal group which rehearses Sunday after worship in the sanctuary and sings during worship once every month from September through June. This group sings a variety of repertoire from early Renaissance to popular Christian music. Our Ensemble Director Jeanie Neven has directed choirs of all ages in schools and community organizations.
A larger vocal group, the Chancel Choir, rehearses Wednesday evenings from 7:15-8:30 p.m. and arrives on Sunday mornings at 9:15 a.m. Also directed by Jeanie Neven, this intergenerational vocal group sings a wide range of church music repertoire. Open to singers from Middle School and older, no formal singing experience or music-reading skills are required to join this lively group. It provides an opportunity for the expression of spirituality through music in a fun, supportive environment. The Chancel Choir sings during almost every Sunday and Holiday worship service of the program year, although it is not required that all singers be in attendance for every one of these services.
THIRD SUNDAY CHOIR: every third Sunday of the month, an allcomer's choir will sing in the 10:00 AM worship service. Meeting at 9:00 am that morning to learn an easy anthem, this group welcomes singers of all ages and backgrounds, from completely inexperienced to longtime choral singers. This musical group provides an opportunity for choral singing once each month during the choir program year.
