Summer Worship
Plans are being made for music in summer worship. If you are interested in singing or playing (solo or ensemble) during a summer Sunday, please contact Marlene Harrington at 716-632-1330 or e-mail mwharrington.35@verizon.net.
The Adult Choir
The Adult Choir, which is for persons in the ninth grade or older, sings a variety of music during the Morning Worship and offers special music during the Christmas season, Lent, and Easter. For special choral works, persons from the congregation are encouraged to augment the choir even though they may not be able to sing regularly throughout the year. The choir rehearses Thursdays at 7:45pm in the choir room, and warms up on Sundays at 10:15am. New members are encouraged to join this ministry of music.
Children’s & Youth Choir
This choir is for children and youth currently enrolled in grades 1-8. We always have room for new members and encourage ANY 1st – 8th grade students to join us! Rehearsals are are Sundays from 9:30-10:30am downstairs in the South Basement – snack included. Please see the Calendar for a complete rehearsal schedule.
For information please contact Marty Shafer at 716-633-6303 or mshaf50@aol.com.
We hope you enjoy these highlights from our recent Christmas Pageant:
The Handbell Choirs
We currently have two handbell choirs. “Celebration Ringers”, our adult handbell choir for ages 15 and older, is an experienced group but is able to “fold in” new ringers who have musical experience. Rehearsals are at 6:30pm on Thursdays prior to adult choir practice.
In addition, the “Bells’ Angels” choir is an intergenerational group of less experienced ringers. They rehearse on selected Wednesdays at 6:30pm. This choir plays musical selections throughout the year.
Of note is the fact that our Malmark handbells have recently been extended to include a four-octave range.
