MUSIC MINISTRY What are the benefits from participating in our music ministry? Use God's great gift of music to help yourself and others worship God. Be part of a diverse and friendly community of musicians. Improve your music skills Singing and ringing are recreational -- participants often leave rehearsals with a song in their heart and a spring in their step. CURRENT OPPORTUNITIES Sanctuary Choir Attention all SINGERS age 18 or older! We have a wonderful time as we blend our voices together to praise and give thanks to God for the magnificent gift of music. Share YOUR talent. Come and give the Sanctuary Choir a try. Rehearsals are on Thursday evenings from 7:30 - 9:00 p.m. FIRST REHEARSAL OF THE FALL SEASON IS THURSDAY, AUGUST 31. The choir sings at both services on Sunday mornings. You may sing at both services or just one. Music reading is a plus, not a requirement. Child care arrangements may be made. Part-time singers welcome. Many of our regular choir members travel or have changing schedules throughout the year. Some are only here for two or three months each year. When their schedule permits they attend Thursday evening practices and sing on Sundays. For more information or to sign up, please contact the church office, 946-5680.   CHILDREN'S CHOIRS Vocal -- we encourage all children from age 4 through 6th grade to participate in our two children's choirs.
