Children's Choir

All elementary school aged children are invited and encouraged to develop their love of music through our Joyful Noise (Sing and Ring) Children’s Choir. Kindergarten through grade 5 singers meet on Wednesday evenings from 6:00-6:50 from November through April to sing and ring. Each Wednesday there is an optional family friendly dinner for singers and their families from 5:30-6:00 pm.

The children experience the joy of sharing God’s word through music. They learn to read musical notation, develop the ability to use the full range of their singing voice, learn the beginnings of two-part singing and the basics of handbell ringing.

Joyful Noise provides special music at approximately one service per month. Each spring the children offer a musical during worship that includes drama, solos, choreography, sets and costumes.
