Help Wanted – Singers and Ringers!

Have you ever thought you might like to sing in the choir or ring with the bells, but didn’t want to make a long-term commitment? We are offering the opportunity for you to try one of these on a short-term basis, three months, now through Easter. Due to some travel plans, we will be without some of our regular members for Easter. We especially need sopranos and tenors, but would welcome all voice parts. Any new ringers would be given the easiest bells and plenty of help and encouragement from our experienced ringers.

Music, a wondrous gift from God, is such a vital and important part of our worship! Please consider sharing your time and talent to be a part of our music ministry.

Mary K. Walley, Director of Music

Join our Silent Night Singalong!

This Christmas, we invite you to sing with us!

It’s everyone’s favorite moment – when the lights go down low, we light candles one by one, and we sing together, “Silent night! Holy night!” It might be the most beautiful three minutes of the entire year.

We may not be able to sing together in person this year, but through the power of technology, our worship team is planning to bring all the families of our church together for one verse of this beloved hymn.

It’s easy to join us! Just play back our karaoke-style video below for the words and piano, and record your family using any video camera. When you’ve got the perfect take, you can send it directly to us by clicking this link.

Don’t worry at all about how you sound – when we all sing together, everyone sounds great!

And be sure to have some fun with this! Let your video reflect your personality. Choose clothes and lighting and props and a setting that say something about who you are and what Christmas means to you.

We’ll premiere the video at worship on Christmas Eve, and will share it on our YouTube channel, too.
