Grow in Faith MUSIC AT FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Chancel Choir The name comes from where we sit - in the chancel, at the front of the sanctuary. Under the direction of Bill Wood, we sing a variety of music from middle ages to the 21 st century, from ancient chant to contemporary. On a given Sunday, you may hear the choir accompanied by organ, piano, handbells, guitar, or without accompaniment (a capella). This is a fun and friendly group. Not everyone in the choir reads music and skills vary, but we work together and help each other. Adults and students (senior high and older) are welcome. We are especially glad to have a number of college students singing with us. The Chancel Choir meets at 7:30 on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings at 10:30 .
Westminster Chimes - Bell Choir
A group of about 10 "ringers" comprise this group. Director is Bill Wood. We also play a variety of music from hymn arrangements to bell peals to medieval liturgical effects. We sometimes accompany singing choirs and congregational hymns and are sometimes joined by other instruments. Bell Choir is as much like a family as any group in the church. Social gatherings are frequent. The group rehearses Tuesday nights at 7:30 .
