Music

Music Enhances Our 9 AM Sunday Services

Music is a vital, integral part of our worship life, helping us to connect with our God.  Our Reuter pipe organ ably supports congregational singing and showcases both classical and contemporary Preludes and Postludes. Preludes center us in meditation, preparing our minds to let go of everyday worries; Postludes help us to depart with renewed energy.

Our Chancel Choir's broad repertory gives us classics of Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, and Mozart and also the music of contemporary composers such as Calvin Hampton, Hal Hopson, Mark Miller, John Rutter, Natalie Sleeth, Audrey Snyder, and Heather Sorenson.  The chancel choir helps to lead us in worship and deepens our spiritual experience with special liturgical music and diverse anthems.  This congenial and dedicated group is open to anyone who likes to sing.

Every Christmas Eve our Pick-Up Choir for the early family service draws many singers who don't have time for an all-year commitment. 

We are fortunate to have instrumental soloists from the congregation.

In the past, we have enjoyed Jazz Vespers, a wonderful blend of lively jazz by professional musicians with thought-provoking readings, often quirky and humorous, that relate to the songs and the theme of the evening. Some of our Jazz program themes have included: Joy and Woe Are Intertwined (William Blake), Celebrating Creativity, The Eyes Have It, What Is This Thing Called Love? (Cole Porter), Let's Move, What Is the Question?, Reality Is the Mystery,  Lost and Found, It's Getting Hot In Here, Tell Me What To Do, and What's Your Problem? All are welcome!
