MUSIC AT EASTER
Music is an integral part of Easter’s worship, including Easter Choir, The Messengers, Kings Choir (4 years old to 1st grade) Choristers (2nd to 5th grade) and handbells. If you play an instrument, we would love to share your gifts in worship. From timeless hymns and modern worship songs to the joyful sound of the children’s choir, Easter offers music for every heart. No matter your preferred style, Easter has a way for you to voice your praise.
Easter choir
Open to persons High School and greater. Music reading is helpful but not required, and if you can’t be there every week, we can work with that, too. Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings from 7:00-8:45 pm, and the treats at break time are always amazing. New members are welcome at any time!
Contact Ben Kornelis for more information.
The messengers
Wondering about joining The Messengers?
Rehearsal is Tuesdays at 6 p.m.; attending rehearsal is expected on weeks you are scheduled to participate in Sunday worship. There is a painless audition process.
Singers and Acoustic guitarists are in demand. Contact Kent for more information or to schedule your audition.
Ringers
Exultate Ringers: The Exultate Ringers are a group of musicians with a wide range of handbell experience – some have played for years, while for others of us, this is our first handbell experience. We have a great time exploring the uniquely collaborative nature of handbell ringing! We typically play two-three octave music, depending on player availability, and often have positions for new ringers in September and January. We participate in worship about four times each year, and rehearsals are 8:00-9:00 pm on Thursdays.
Jubilate Ringers: The Jubilate Ringers are a dedicated group of advanced handbell ringers, playing five-octave repertoire, usually Level III and higher. We participate in worship five-six times each year, including the Advent and Spring Choral Services. Rehearsals are 7:00-8:00 pm on Thursdays. While open positions are infrequent, substitute ringers are frequently needed.
