Encountering God through Music
MUSIC MINISTRIES
WORSHIP
WFUMC Worships on Sundays at 10am
O Sing to the Lord all the Earth ~ Psalm 96:1
Worship forms the people of God. Our engagement in praise, repentance, forgiveness, thanksgiving and proclamation as part of a worshiping community forms and shapes us into a people of love. We believe that worshippers encounter God through spoken words, visible symbols, enacted signs and - music!
Adult Music Ministries
Covenant Choir
The Covenant Choir sings an anthem and assists in leading hymn singing each Sunday morning during worship. Our mission is to preach the gospel and to spread the good news through music. This group of adults is a blend of experienced and inexperienced singers who rehearse on Wednesdays in the sanctuary at 7:00. The Covenant Choir prepares a Christmas Cantata each year as well as special music presentations for Easter, Holy Week, Ash Wednesday, Music Appreciation Sunday and more. This is a non- auditioned choir.
Handbells
The Handbell Ministry features ensembles for ringers of all ability levels, and we encourage beginning and experienced ringers who are new to our congregation to join in!
RingTones is our less experienced handbell ensemble and consists of both youth and adult ringers. This group meets each Tuesday in the sanctuary, September through May, from 6:00 pm-6:45 pm.
Joyful Ringers is our more experienced handbell ensemble. This group meets each Tuesday in the sanctuary, September through May, from 7:00 pm -8:00 pm.
Small Groups and Ensembles
Various small groups help to supplement musical offerings throughout the year. We are always recruiting special music for Sunday morning worship such as vocal solos, instrumental solos and other music ensembles. Contact a music staff person for more information!
