Handbells
Monday | 6:00 p.m. (Sept. - May)
We currently have one handbell choir. Led by Susan Heaton, the Bronze Bells play in worship several times per year. A screening interview is required as the group is limited to a finite number of ringers with moderate musical reading skills.
Solos and Ensembles - We encourage solo and small ensemble singing in worship. Prerequisites for soloists include active membership in either the Sanctuary Choir/Praise Team, Young at Heart Choir, Youth Choir, or Children's Choirs.
Wedding Music Guidelines - Music used in our church weddings needs to reflect the ultimate reason most weddings are held in a sanctuary. This is a ceremony in God's house, before Him, therefore you will need to use lyrics sacred in nature. This draws the focus away from the couple and more toward the sanctity of what is occurring between you, your future spouse, and God.
If you choose to use our Sanctuary, keep in mind its traditional architecture, fixed musical instruments (pipe organ, grand piano, and Kurzweil electronic keyboard) and acoustic properties when making your musical selections. Matching your music to these surroundings will enhance the ceremony and give it thematic support for the witnesses (God and guests).
As per the wedding policy, all music (vocal and instrumental) including any used for video backgrounds, must be approved by the Minister of Music prior to the wedding date. It is recommended that you submit your titles at least six weeks ahead of time so adjustments can be made if necessary without undue stress.
