Music
Music is an important part of our worship together. The hymns we sing are found in the 1982 Hymnal and in the Wonder, Love and Praise hymnal. During the school year our Youth Choir sings at the 10:00 AM Sunday service at least once each month, and the Sanctuary Choir sings at the 10:00 AM Sunday service.
The Parish’s music program depends on parishioners to participate in the praise of God through music. The congregation itself is a major participant by singing the hymns and service music. But if you have been considering a more active participation by joining one of the choirs or by serving as an instrumentalist on occasion, please contact Noel Warford, our organist and choirmaster, at [email protected].[MOU1]
