We rehearse on Wednesday evenings in the sanctuary from 7:00 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. INSTRUMENTAL ENSEMBLES - We very much appreciate the ministry of our instrumentalists. We have several accomplished pianists, flautists, brass and woodwind players, and a violinist. They share their music each Sunday during the worship services, as well as various other programs throughout the year. DRAMA - There are many opportunities to participate in drama presentations. We use drama in our cantatas, skits for our regular Sunday services, Sunday School class parties and other functions throughout the year. SINGSPIRATIONS - Available several times throughout the year especially on the 5th Sunday evening of a month. |
