Music Ministry

The music ministry at First UMC is lead by Judy Law. Judy directs the Chancel Choir, which sings at the 11:00 Sunday services.

Chancel Choir

The choir provides several special performances during a year, including Christmas and Easter special presentations, in addtion to providing music for the 11:00 Sunday services.

The 830 Sound

  1. The 830 Singers — a group of participants of any age, who arrive at 8:00 am Sunday morning, practice and sing one familiar hymn, in unison, for the service that morning. There are no scheduled rehearsal times other than from 8:00 to 8:25 a.m. Sunday morning; no responses; no robes; no processing or recessing; no sitting in the chancel—no hassle!
  2. The 830 Players — an instrumental group of musicians of any age or skill level (assuming they already know how to play their instrument) that will provide instrumental music for the 8:30 service. This group will have a scheduled rehearsal time to be determined later. This group will be under the codirection of Kathy Hersey and Judy Law.
  3. The 830 Kids — a youth choir that provides music in the same manner (Introit, Prayer Response, Anthem, Benediction) as the Chancel Choir, but on a rotating basis with The 830 Singers and The 830 Players.

Praise Band

First UMC is just beginning to form a praise band. The band provides contemporary Christian music for Sunday evening Praise Services. These are currently scheduled every month or two as we get started. See the calendar for the next one. If you want to be part of this exciting ministry contact Judy Law.
