Spiritual Arts

Bell Choir:  We are so excited about this upcoming year because we have received a WONDERFUL gift of 3 octaves of real bells (instead of the bell plates that we've been playing and that you see pictured at the left.)  This summer all those interested in playing the bells will be invited to a "master class" to help us understand these new and wonderful instruments.  Our rehearsals will start up again on August 31st at 5:30 p.m. in the Sanctuary.  If  you think you may be interested in joining this fun and rewarding choir, please call the church office or speak with Sue Trukken.

Dance:  Our dance ensemble is made up of young ladies from the congregation with some experience in dance.  They work together to choreograph dance routines to contemporary Christian music and offer these in the worship services several times through out the year.  They meet on agreed upon Saturdays while preparing a routine.  If you are interested in participating in this spiritual art, contact Sue Trukken or the Church office.

Drama: Everyone needs a little drama in their lives; it keeps things interesting, right?  Well, we look at our Drama as adding an exclamation point in the middle of the worship services.  Sue Trukken reads through 100's of scripts to find exactly the right skit to present.  We do everything from monologues to readers' theater.  We meet in the Sanctuary at 6:45 p.m. on Tuesdays as needed to prepare a specific presentation.  Drama is open to all ages, the only prerequisite is a willingness to "act out" in front of the congregation! Does this sound like you or do you want more information?  Please call Sue Trukken or the Church Office.

Orchestra:  Our instrument ensemble is fast becoming an orchestra.  This group is open to all ages and abilities ~ we only ask that you have a love of God and the music we use to worship Him.    This ensemble meets almost every Sunday at 11:15 a.m.  during the regular musical season to rehearse specially orchestrated music, arranged by Sue Trukken, to accompany the regular worship services once a month.  Special attention is given to the Christmas and Easter season when the ensemble joins the combined choirs for extra-ordinary celebration music!  We would welcome any new additions to the "orchestra" ~ if you're interested in this awesome opportunity in the music ministry please contact Sue or the Church Office for more information.

Strings:  We're really working on growing the strings group.  This is for strummed instruments such as guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin etc.  This group meets on Thursdays at 5:00 p.m. in the Fireside Room.  They accompany the congregation on hymns once a month and also prepare some special music for preludes and offertories.  We would love to add some more participants in this group, if you're interested please call Sue Trukken or the Church Office.
