Chancel Choir |
|
| This is the church’s main group and sings
during the first service the first two Sundays of each month and the
second service the next two Sundays. If there is a fifth Sunday, the
choir gets a "break". Of course, there are plenty of festival services
and Sundays. It is our goal to achieve 100 members! Our rehearsals are
intense, but fun and alive. You needn’t be a professional singer – if
you enjoy singing in the shower, you are welcome to join us. It is not
necessary to read music, basics, however, will help. What you don’t
know, you’ll learn. |
| Wednesday evenings, 8 -9
pm in the sanctuary. |

Praise Team |
|
| The Praise Team is a good core of musicians,
but more are needed. Singers and accompanying instruments are needed.
The group sings more contemporary music is a more relaxed atmosphere. If
you are interested in joining this group, please contact Joel Worra. |
| Wednesday evenings, 7 - 8
pm in the music room. |

Orchestra |

| The orchestra is looking to add up to 20 new
players. Students in confirmation are welcome to join us! The orchestra
plays about once per month along with the brass and the woodwind
ensembles. Take out your instrument, dust it off and join us. All levels
accepted! |
