Praise the Lord! How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise Him
Psalm 146:1
The music ministry touches every area of the church from children to adults. We seek to help people develop and use their talents to glorify God, and to enhance our worship services. You are invited to get involved in the music ministry of CUMC. If you enjoy singing or if you play in instrument, there is a place for you to use your gifts.
Chancel Choir

Rehearsals are every Wednesday evening from 7:00 to 8:30 and the choir sings each Sunday morning during the 11:00 worship service. If you are in high school or older we would love to have you come and sing with us. New singers are welcome and needed! Ability to read music is not necessary, just the ability to sing on pitch. Even if you cannot commit to rehearsals every Wednesday, come and check us out any Wednesday evening. We have a great time of fellowship as we sing together. Rehearsal CDs can be made available
