Message from Don Boylls- Director of Arts and Music

We have a very gifted, dedicated and most of all fun Chancel choir and Bell Choir. We rehearse on Wednesday nights. Bell Choir at 6:00 and Chancel Choir at 7:00.

The Bell Choir has 9 members, but can always use more. Reading music is helpful, but not mandatory. If you would like to come and try ringing a bell, we would be more than glad to have you. The bell choir includes novices to intermediates.  We usually perform at service at least once every two months, along with Christmas Eve and Easter.

Our Chancel Choir has a core group of about 20, but fluctuates to 25 people. We perform a myriad of songs and styles, ranging from classical to contemporary. Please come and join us on Wednesdays for an evening of music, fun, laughter and great Christian fellowship. We can use singers in all sections. We sing every Sunday morning with the exception of the first Sunday when our Tongan choir usually sings. We also perform at special services like Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, and Christmas Eve. We put on two cantatas per year, one at Christmas and one during the Easter Season.  December 2, 2006, our Chancel Choir has been asked to be part of a choir festival with 9 other surrounding choirs for the benefit of Habitat for Humanity. We will be singing two numbers of our own as well as joining the other choirs to become one massive choir performing two larger works. 

As Director of Arts and Music I am always looking for people who can play instruments, or provide special music in the way of solos, duets, etc. If you don't want to make a weekly commitment to a music program, but loves to sing or perform occasionally, then see Don Boylls. I'll work you into the service. I feel our worship experience can never have too much music.

If you are interested in becoming a part of either one of the exciting groups, or just performing solo or with a small group,  please contact Don Boylls or just show up on Wednesday nights. We would be thrilled to welcome you into our musical and Christian family.
