Music
One of the ways we worship God is by singing and making music to Him in our
hearts. One of the great teaching tools that we have been given is music, with
memorable melodies and rhymes. In music, we can learn about God as we
worship together. Thus, we seek to awaken all people to the worship of God by
using music as a means to proclaim, teach, and enjoy the fullness of His glory.
The pipe organ is an M. P. Mööller, 1961, Op. 9532. It has 3 manuals and 25 ranks
of pipes. It was recently restored and enhanced by Letourneau pipe organ
company in Canada. Anyone wishing to practice or use the organ may do so by
calling our director of music, Matt Spangler 232-1769.
Our music ministry is always open to anyone who has a love of music and a
heart that is dedicated to achieving the task of leading worship in song. Please
consider joining a choir today.
This group meets between 4 to 8 weeks before Christmas and Easter
after the 11 am worship service and provides unison, two and three part
music for special services during Christmas and Easter. The Women’s
Ensemble also performs at the Maymont open house in December as
Roving Singers. Come and join the fun! Open to all ladies from 10th
grade to senior adult.
The choir provides music mainly for the 11 am worship service but on
occasion will have groups sing for the 8:45 am worship. This choir is
open to all adults age 18 up. No experience in music is required but a
willingness to work with the director and devote time to learning is
required. Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm.
Childcare will be provided if requested.
- Attention, instrumentalists.
