Handbells

Genesis Ringers
Genesis, as the name implies, is for beginning and early advancing handbell ringers. The basics of music reading gained from piano lessons or participation in a school orchestra, band or vocal choir are helpful! Parents and students can enjoy this choir together. If you have questions, please contact Sally Harmon at [email protected].
Handbells for music readers, Wednesdays: 5:30-6:10 pm
Westminster Ringers
Our adult handbell choir consists of experienced ringers who love music and enjoy the teamwork of producing beautiful handbell music together. Our mission is to enhance the worship service with music while sharing fellowship with each other. If you have questions or are interested in joining or being a sub, please contact Jill Post at [email protected].
Adults, Wednesdays: 6:30-7:30 pm

St. Andrews Brass Ensemble

Our brass ensemble is composed of experienced adult players who find camaraderie and satisfaction in rehearsing weekly and sharing their gifts of music with the congregation in worship.  If you have questions or are interested in joining, please contact Jill Post at [email protected].
Experienced adult players, Wednesdays: 5:30-6:30 pm

All Church Orchestra

String, woodwind, brass, and percussion players are welcome to join our All Church Orchestra.  This group is for musicians who are 7th graders through adult who want to share their talents with the congregation during worship several times a year.  If you have played with us before, you are already on the list.  If you have not played with us previously and are interested in joining, please contact Jill Post at [email protected].

Pianists

Accompanists are encouraged to lend a hand (or two!) with our young choirs. Solos, quartets and duets can be included in worship occasionally for those interested. If you have talents in this area, please contact Pam Burns at [email protected].

Solos & Small Groups

We form small singing and instrumental ensembles throughout the year. If you have a musical talent and want to share it, we will provide a time for you to do so. Additionally, we can connect you with others for collaborative musical opportunities. If you have questions, please contact Pam Burns at [email protected].
