Adult Choir
Music Ensembles
Music has always been a big part in how we worship at the First United Methodist Church. Due to the COVID 19 Pandemic there are now a lot of restrictions on music and how is it shared in worship. Of course, this is true everywhere. In keeping with those restrictions, we are happy to welcome four new ensembles into our worship leadership. While we will miss our large choirs, these smaller ensembles of ten or fewer participants are a welcomed addition to our worship services. If you would like more information on the music we offer in worship, please contact Tim Meunier.
Belle Canto- While this women's vocal ensemble has presented music in worship since 2006, this will be a reduced group of 6-7 singers (from 10) who you will hear in worship once a month.
Journeymen - A "journeyman" is a skilled craftsman who works under the direction of the "master craftsman." With God as the "master craftsman", this new men's vocal ensemble will share their skills with God and with us in worship once a month.
Genesis-This is the rebirth of our youth vocal ensemble. It has been years since there has been a music group that focused solely on our older youth. This will start as a small group that will rehears on Sunday nights right before youth group. Genesis will sing periodically in worship and at times will team-up with Belle Canto and Journeymen.
Carillon Ringers- The word "Carillon" is actually the French word for "Chimes". This two-octave chime ensemble will be comprised of ringers from our Jubilate Ringers and our Chimers Handchime Ensemble.
Instrumental - This is nothing more festive than the sounds of brass on Easter Sunday. Imagine, if you will the sounds of children's voices accompanied by flute or solo violin or the sound of a Bassoon/ Saxophone duet at our Christmas Collage Concert. There are many worship and concert opportunities for solo / ensemble playing by experienced players.
