Many people find that music is an essential part of their everyday lives. In fact, most experience it even at times when they don’t realize it. Music takes us all to a place where words are not quite adequate and perceptions are stretched. This miraculous gift of music in our lives is something to be celebrated and acknowledged. The blessing of music is explored in most experiences within our church. Breaking the mold of “sacred music” to make “music sacred” is a tribute to our faith and honors our worship journey in a unique way.
Chancel Choir
Hand Bell Choir
The Hand Bell Choir is a volunteer organization that rings traditional English bells. The Hand Bell Choir plays at numerous worship services and special events throughout the year. Rehearsals are held every Sunday morning at 9 a.m. in the Family Parlor. To learn more about the Hand Bell Choir, contact Tim Coles at timcoles@comcast.net.
All musicians and lovers of music are invited to join us on Wednesday evenings for our weekly “WorshipJam.” You’ll find singing, drumming, bowl playing (yes, bowl playing!), and instrumental improvisation for this deep experience of worship creation. For more information, contact Tim Coles at timcoles@comcast.net or Gail Ransom at FUMCransom@aol.com.
Instrumentalists
Do you play a musical instrument? Instrumentalists are always welcome to play solo anthems or play with others in ensemble combinations during the worship service. Instrumentalists are also needed to accompany the Chancel Choir for special presentations. For more information, contact Tim Coles or send e-mail to timcoles@comcast.net.
