MUSIC MINISTRY

“I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being.”    Psalm 104:33

It has been said that hymnody is like a folk tradition. Its heritage must be recreated, loved, and passed on from generation to generation through “participation”. Our Sanctuary Choir invites YOU to PARTICIPATE, to GROW, to MINISTER, to SHARE, to find personal SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT and to SERVE GOD with YOUR talent!

Perhaps now is the time to use your talents in the service of the church. If you enjoy singing with a wonderful group of people, we can promise you good FUN, FELLOWSHIP (sometimes even FOOD) and always the pleasure and blessing of serving your church in a very direct way.

Rehearsals are held in the choir room (behind the sanctuary) and start at 7:30 P.M. and finish before 9:00 P.M. Please come if you enjoy singing. You don’t have to know everything about reading music to sing in the choir; but you might be amazed as to how much you end up learning along the way. If you can serve your church in this way, PLEASE COME and join us. There are many, many reasons why YOU need to be among our number!

“Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, sing his praise in the assembly of the faithful.”  Psalm 149:1

**CPC Adult Handbell Choir- We are very fortunate to have a great group of “Ringers” in our Handbell Choir. We are presently looking for 1 or 2 “ringers” to serve as substitutes at Thursday rehearsals at 6:30 p.m. and occasionally for a Sunday morning service.

**CPC Young Women’s Ensemble – Our Young Women’s Ensemble rehearses on Sunday mornings, immediately after the early Worship Service, at 9:20 in the choir room. We usually try to sing once a month, and hopefully even more frequently this year.         

**Children’s Choir  – The last few years, there has not been enough interest shown to support a children’s choir at CPC. If enough interest is shown, this is something we would again like to begin.

For questions or for more information on any of the “Music Ministries” of the church, please call Lou Ann at 576-9764, email her at louapotter@comcast.net or speak to any of our CPC “Music Ministers” at the church. We hope to “hear” from you soon!
 

Adult Choir meets on Thursday evenings from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m.  The choir sings each Sunday at the 11:00 a.m. Service, with opportunities for solo work throughout the year. All voice parts are always welcome and needed. There is no audition necessary, only a love of singing and a commitment to the ensemble.
 


Adult Handbell Choir meets on Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 7:30. We aim to play at least once every 5 to 6 Sundays and always ring during the Christmas and Easter Seasons. We are always looking for permanent substitutes to play for occasional rehearsals and some Sunday services. No experience with ringing is needed, but it is a plus, as is the ability to read music.
 


Youth Music Ministry at CPC

Currently, we have a Young Women’s Ensemble, for girls from 8th to 12th grades, and a Girl’s Ensemble for girls from 2nd grade and older.  If enough interest is generated, a mixed choir, ages 2nd grade and older will again be added. Our Youth Choir meets on Sunday mornings at 9:20, immediately after the early worship service. We invite all youth to come join us at our  rehearsal on Sunday morning.
 


Youth Handchime Choir: It has been several years since we have had a Youth Handchime Choir at CPC. If there is enough interest shown, (we are looking for youth in 6th grade and up), there is a possibility of reforming this group in the fall, possibly with a weekly Wednesday evening rehearsal. No previous experience is necessary, although as in our adult handbell choir, the ability to read music is a plus. If you are a youth who might be interested in ringing, know of someone who might be interested in the group, or if you would like more information, please email Lou Ann at louapotter@comcast.net or call her at 576-6867.
 

If you are interested in joining our music ministry at church, and would like more information, please contact Lou Ann Potter, Director of Music at either (717) 576-9764, (717) 582-4892 or email her at louapotter@comcast.net.   (or please speak to anyone who “sings” or “rings” currently!)

We would love to see (and to “hear”) you at church soon!!!
