Music Ministry
Opportunities to Minister in the Music Department
We have several musical groups here at Pines. All are open to anyone who can make the time commitment to join.
No auditions are necessary. We see singing, ringing or playing an instrument as praying twice.
​
Chancel Choir
The Chancel Choir ministers every Sunday morning in the 10:45 a.m. service.
During the year we have rehearsals every Wednesday night at 7:00 p.m. in the choir room. On Sundays, rehearsals begin at 10:00 a.m. The Chancel Choir leads worship with song for two major services during the year…. the Christmas Cantata and the Good Friday Reflection Service. The Choir also offers Follies!, a fun Broadway show tunes dinner show that features the choir, various duets, solos, orchestra, and bells on the first Sunday in June.

The Pines Pealers generally minister in the 10:45 service once a month.
This group rehearses in the Bell Room (C-12) on Wednesday evenings at 5:45 p.m.

Jubilant July Voices
The music is often very familiar tunes and is practiced prior to worship on Sunday mornings at 10:00 a.m. in the Choir Room. During the month of July, we give our Chancel Choir members the month off and we invite members of the congregation to experiment with the joy of singing in the choir.
