Church Choirs

Music in church services is an important and featured part of worship.  The church has a senior choir, the “Village Ringers” hand bell choir and children’s choirs.  The senior and bell choirs are open to all who enjoy singing or ringing high school age and older.   Church membership is not required.  The program year for our choirs is September to June.  Small groups perform during summer services.

The church choirs offer a Christmas Concert on the second Sunday of December.  This annual event has become a treasured community event.

Senior Choir

The Senior Choir is the church’s adult choir.  Singers from high school age up are welcome to join.  The choir rehearses on Thursday nights from 7:30-9pm and Sunday morning from 9-9:40am for the 10am service.  The choir sings a wide variety of music including classical and modern pieces.  The Christmas Concert is a highlight of the season.  Rehearsals for the concert begin in mid-October through early December.

“Village Ringers” Hand Bell Choir

Our church started its hand bell choir in the 1970’s.   Membership doesn’t require experience with bell ringing or the ability to read music but experience singing or playing an instrument are helpful.although a basic understanding of musical notation is very helpful.  Each member usually plays two notes and the related sharps and flats.  The repertoire includes a variety of styles.  The choir performs at several services during the year and the Christmas Concert.

Children’s Choirs

We have two children’s choirs.  Our pre-K choir, the Joyful Noise Choir, gives our children their first introduction to singing in a choir.  They learn many of the standard Sunday School songs.  They sing occasionally in church.    Our Cherub Choir is designed for children in grades K-2.  They sing in church about once a month.  We use movement and games to teach musical concepts.  They learn about God as we explore the meaning of the words in our anthems.  Both choirs are filled with laughter and FUN!.

We hope to start a choir for children in grades 3-8.  If you have a child who is interested, please let our church office know.

Our director, Toni Sullivan, has directed choirs of all ages for the past 40 years.  She is a composer and has written several children’s choir anthems.
