We love music and welcome you to join one of our many choirs.
CHANCEL CHOIR
The Chancel Choir is a warm family of both non-musicians and musicians, whose goal is to reflect God's nature. Weekly, the choir participates in worship at the 10:30 AM service. All voice types are welcome, and we especially encourage the hesitant singer to participate. No audition is necessary.
The choir performs a variety of literature to further enhance the worship service. Musical skills will develop whether you are a beginner or advanced musician.
The Chancel Choir is an excellent way to meet people and become more involved in one of the many ministries at Christ Church.
Childcare is provided. Rehearsals are held in the Chapel on Thursday evenings from 7:00 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. Please come join us at our first rehearsal as we begin the 2009-2010 season on Thursday, August 20th. Chancel choir is conducted by Anthony Bernarducci and accompanied by our organist Janet Tolman.
You are welcome to join The Chancel Choir at any time during the season. Please stop by during one of our regular rehearsals, or contact Anthony at bernarducci@gmail.com
THE HANDBELL MINISTRY AT CHRIST CHURCH
Our handbell ministry is a vital part of the music program at our church. The handbell choir (LAS CAMPANAS DE CRISTO - the bells of Christ) meets weekly for rehearsals on Thursdays at 5:45-6:45 pm in the church sanctuary. The choir plays in worship once a month at the 10:30 serivce, usually on the 2nd Sunday. The bells are also often used to accompany hymns.
We believe that the sound of bells and chimes enhances our worship and as a result draws us closer to God. We have 4 octaves of English handbells and 4 octaves of hand chimes,all made by Malmark. We often need additional ringers. Please contact the Director of Handbell Ministries, John Neve, at jjnevo@hotmail.com or 520.795.4869 for more information or to volunteer your services.
