MUSIC
“I will tell of Your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.” -Hebrews 2:12
Our goal is to provide special music for each worship service. In order to meet that goal, we encourage people with musical talent to offer their gifts in service to God and the church. All choirs are glad to have new members.
Alleluia Ringers
The Alleluia Ringers are a 5 octave handbell choir for people 11-99 years of age and ringers of all levels. Being part of the Alleluia Ringers is a small group opportunity for those who enjoy praising God through music. If you've never played bells, or if you've played for years, there is a place for you in our group. We rehearse Monday nights and play in the worship service once a month - usually the 3rd Sunday of the month plus holidays and special occasions.
