Make a Joyful Noise!
Music has been an important part of Lutheran worship for more than 500 years.
Want to become a part of this tradition? Join our choir or come and play hand bells! We also welcome special music by our members during our service.
The Christ Choir meets Wednesday nights at 7:30 p.m. The choir performs most Sundays (September through May) and prepares two cantatas a year. Our singers are dedicated to working hard and having a good time! If you can sing in the shower, you’re good enough to join us!
The Handbell Choir meets for practice each Wednesday evening at 6:00 p.m. throughout the music year. More ringers are needed and are welcome! You don't need to read music - you only need to be able to count and concentrate.
For more information about the Christ Choir or the Handbell Choir, contact Diane Drollinger.
