MUSIC ON SUNDAYS
Our Sunday Worship service features a blend of traditional style, usually accompanied by our pipe organ, and contemporary style, usually accompanied by the piano and additional instruments. We also feature culturally diverse musical styles, as our congregation has members from every part of the world.
WE ARE BUILDING THE CHOIR. JOIN USChoir rehearsal is held on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm in the music room. To join, please contact Gabriel at [email protected], or talk to him any Sunday after the service.
Reading music is not required. Joining does requires a very simple initial meeting with Gabriel in which he listens to your voice and your ability to match pitch. After the meeting Gabriel assigns you to singing either melody or harmony and the further classification of soprano, alto, tenor or bass.

MUSIC PLANNINGOur Music Director plans the music well ahead of time, so choir rehearsals are efficient, and bulletins can be printed with the correct information. It is important that any collaboration is included in the planning with enough time to integrate in the rest of the planning for that Sunday. If you would like to collaborate, please be sure to give at least one week notice to our Music Director, and be ready to provide the following information: Title of the piece, style, length, composer, lyrics, your name, and a brief paragraph about yourself. Also indicate if the piece presented needs an accompanist or not, and if it needs to be accompanied, indicate if you are providing your own accompanist.
