Music Program

Family Choir

Family Choir practice on the First and Third Sundays following the 10 am service.  Anyone wishing to help out and sing with us is most welcome!  All ages are invited and you don’t have to know how to read music to join.  My goal is to help the children and young people of our parish make friends and feel like they are contributing to the worshop in an enjoyable way.  We hope to sing one Sunday before the end of summer.  We will also be introducing the newly acquired hand chimes for a part of the rehearsal.

Come join us every other Sunday to ring the children’s handbells during a hymn.  No rehearsals!!

Organ Upgrade Memorial Donations

The vestry has approved a new project to upgrade our organ.  We have two pledges for memorial donations, and we are accepting more contributions.  A plaque will list the memorials.  Please speak to Father Thomas Mitchell if you would like to contribute or Tim McQueen if you have questions about the organ.

When the organ was built, one set of pipes, the ones that sound like trumpets, weren’t quite the right size and needed to be modified to work with our organ.  As a result, they don’t stay in tune very well.  The pipes were further damaged by water when a heating coil ruptured and soaked the pipes with steam.  We are going to replace that set of pipes.  Once the new pipes are installed, we plan to sell the existing pipes to help fund the project.

Just think…the trumpet fanfares Tim plays will be even more magnificent, and you can help make it happen!!

Handbell Choir

The Adult Handbell Choir plays twice each month at the 10:30 am Sunday serrvice and practices every  Monday at 6 pm.

New multi-colored children’s handbells have been purchased for children 3 and up.  The young people will be asked to come up to the front of the church occassionally at a 10:30 am service where they will play from color coded and numbers music sheets!!
