Music
If music making is enjoyable and energizing for you, then you'll find a place in one of our musical ensembles.
OUR MUSIC PROGRAMS
The Chancel Choir
Sing.. when the spirit says sing! Singing is good for the body and soul – it is said that “when we sing, we pray twice.”
If you enjoy singing and fellowship then there is a place for you in the Chancel Choir – our members have a broad range of musical backgrounds.
We lift our voices to God in the 10AM Sanctuary service each week, and in rehearsals on Thursday evenings (7:30–9:00 pm) and Sunday mornings (9:15 am) from September through June.
Group (choral) singing can be one of the great joys of life– we would be glad to have you join us.
Children's Choir
We are currently reconstituting our Children and Youth music programs – they will have an opportunity to sing in our 10 am Sanctuary service on Sunday, November 24 – please stay tuned for announcements about rehearsal times. We look forward to making music together!
When people begin to sing at a young age, and sing often, music remains forever part of life. Singing also helps us to “find our voice” so that one day it will be there when we need to speak up, speak out, or even speak up on behalf of someone who can’t.
wired Audio Engineering
It’s important to understand that the person mixing the audio is essentially a band member and is as important as any musician. If the sound isn’t good then the band doesn’t sound good. These service opportunities are truly ways to give back of those talents that God has already given us as well as providing a great way to connect with others on a much deeper level. At wired we say that we are wired for more. We’re wired for worship, we’re wired for connection, and we’re wired for service. Participation in the wired band covers all three.
wired Band
The wired band meets every Sunday morning all year round at 8:15AM for rehearsal with music prepared in advance and then leads the congregation in a contemporary worship style at its 10AM worship experience. Occasional Saturday morning rehearsals are had for extra attention to challenging songs.
The band, a sort of small family within the larger church family, is always looking to deepen its pool of talented and skilled musicians. Guitar, keyboards, vocals, bass, drums, percussion are a few of the types of instruments that contribute to the overall musical offering.
Hand Bell Choir
The Handbell Choir rings in worship services throughout the church year, rehearsing on several Wednesday evenings prior to those occasions. Our next ringing Sunday will be September 29, with Wednesday evening rehearsals on September 18th and 25th from 7:30-9 pm.
Ringing in a bell choir is a uniquely beautiful and moving musical experience. The physical activity of ringing together can feel like choreography – kind of like dancing. Handbell choirs have lots of good practice paying attention to the “whole” of which we are part, which we know is a good discipline for life in general as well.
We welcome interested ringers of any experience and ability.
