Music

Praising God through music is one of the many joys in this church.  There are opportunities for participation or just come along and enjoy the talents of our members.

Terri Wilke is our Music Coordinator and fills many roles in this capacity.  She is the church organist, Chancel Choir Director and Praise Team leader among others.

Choirs do not practice or perform during the summer months.  Instead, special music is often provided at services by individual members.

The Chancel Choir consists of adult vocalists of all ages, is directed by Terri Wilke and accompanied on the piano by Kristina Arellano.  It performs at the 10:30 am service on the first 2 Sundays of each month and at the 8 am service on the fourth Sunday.  Additionally, with other volunteers it performs Easter and Christmas cantatas.

Rehearsals are on Wednesdays from 7pm to 8 pm.  Please call the office or get in touch with Terri Wilke if you are interested in participating.

 

 

 

The Handbell Choir director is Joanne Marchionda.  It was started in 1999 when the bells were purchased through a Memorial Fund from a member.   Hand chimes were added 2 years ago and it is now a 3 octave bell and chime choir.  It performs in church on the third Sunday of each month at the 10:30 service.

If you have any interest in learning, or have played before, please don’t hesitate to come.  Practices are on Wednesdays from 5:30-6:30, starting the Wednesday after Labor Day.  If you have any questions, please call Joanne Marchionda at 922-3993.
