Music

Come join us…

The 33-member Senior Choir contributes to morning worship with a variety of sacred music from the Renaissance and Baroque periods to modern harmonies of spirituals and folk songs, a cappella, or accompanied by full organ or guest instrumentalists. Directed from the organ console by Beverly Caldon, the group welcomes experienced singers from high school age to maturity. Rehearsals are Thursdays, 7-8:30PM in the loft from September to June.

The Praise Choir, with teenagers and adults, features the contemporary sounds of keyboard, guitar, and singers. The choir participates in morning worship one Sunday a month, and often rehearses on Sundays after church.

The Heritage Ringers Handbell Choir, and Junior Handbells,  offer their tinkling sparkle to morning worship one Sunday a month, as well as at special holiday concerts and Christmas Eve. The choir makes music on four octaves of Malmark bells and 3 octaves of handchimes. Beverly Caldon directs the group, which meets Tuesdays from 7-8:30PM September to June.
