The most “happening” choral group, singing every week at the 11am worship service, as well as special services. They sing September to June. Everyone is welcome to join the choir. If you are not comfortable with sight-reading, tapes are available to help you learn the music at home. Rehearsals are on Thursday evenings from 7:30pm to 9:00pm in the sanctuary.
The love for worshipping and praising God through contemporary Christian music is what keeps this group ever so vibrant and alive. Song leaders, guitarists, and instrumentalists share their faith as they participate in leading ‘Songs of Praise’ at the 8:30 contemporary service. Come join the Praise Team in glorifying His name! This dynamic group rehearses at 7:45 on Sunday mornings.
All the ringers perform their impressive musicianship as a unified group on handbells. Ringers bring distinctive reverberations to Sunday worships and special services. The ringers participate in the 11 am service. If you are eager to learn more about ringing handbells and chimes, contact John! The Kirk Ringers are looking for new members. Rehearsals are Sunday afternoons in the Sanctuary following the 11 am service.
