Children’s Choir

Children (Age 3 through 4th Grade) meet every Sunday in the sanctuary from September through May for music.  Songs are selected to match the lessons the children are learning.  In addition, a wide variety of music is introduced.  Children are also taught to read music from the hymnal The Worshiping Church.  Instruments such as step bells, tambourines, wood blocks, finger cymbals, etc. are enjoyed by the children.  The children have the opportunity to sing throughout the year in worship.  They also sing with the Adult Choir for “Lessons and Carols” during the Christmas Season.
