Worship and Music

 

We gather as a church for worship each Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.

Additional worship services are offered during Lent/Easter and Christmas. Be sure to check the calendar for all special services and events. Holy Communion is celebrated the first Sunday of each month.

 

The Music Ministry of St. John offers a rich variety of experiences, from classic, to contemporary, to gospel, to jazz, from the “old” hymns, to the “new.”  Whatever your taste in music, you will find it at St. John.

 

The Children’s Choir (K through 5th grade) begins practice in the fall, and presents a musical for the Advent/Christmas Season and again during the Lenten/Easter Season.

 

The Children’s Handbell Choir performs periodically throughout the year.

 

The Chancel Choir (6th grade through adults) rehearses each Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in the sanctuary.  The Choir sings for the Sunday service of worship and for additional worship services throughout the year.

 

The Band (bass guitar, guitar, drums, and keyboard) accompanies the choir for most worship services.  The Band practices with the Chancel Choir on Wednesday evenings.

 

 

 

 

In addition to these ministries, the Music Ministry offers opportunity for soloists and instrumentalists to serve in worship throughout the year.

 

 

 

Fall 2008

We SING BECAUSE . . .

 

  • We are happy
  • We are free
  • We know the SONG (Jesus is THE song)
  • We enjoy praising God in this way
  • We treasure the “family” and fellowship of choir members
  • We want to serve God with my musical interest

 

ALL JOYFUL “NOISE MAKERS,” we practice EVERY WEDNESDAY EVENING at 6:30 p.m. 

 

PLEASE JOIN US. 

 

 At His service,

 

Fern Medley-Forsythe, Minister of Music
