Make
a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: Sing forth
the honor of his name: make his praise glorious.
Psalms
66: 1-2
Whatever
your age, if you find joy in praising the Lord with song,
you’ll definitely find a place in our music ministry! FPC
has a rich tradition of excellence in the music we
incorporate into our worship. FPC’s music ministry welcomes
all who find joy in enhancing our worship through
music—playing an instrument, singing or both! We invite you
to join the sanctuary choir and/or the bell choir as we
worship through song every week and at special times of the
year, including our traditional Christmas in Newport
concert and our special musical worship service in June.
• The Sanctuary Choir leads the congregation in worship on
most Sunday mornings, Thanksgiving eve, Christmas Eve, and
Maundy Thursday. We invite everyone, from teenager to
senior citizen, and we need new members as some have moved
away or are unable to continue to participate.
• We are blessed to have musicians in our congregation who
enrich our worship services. Instrumentalists high-school
age and older are invited to join our Instrumental
Ensemble.
• The Bell Choir participates in some Sunday morning
worship services and greatly enhances Christmas Eve and
Easter Services. If you have experience ringing bells or
would like to learn, we have a place for you. If you can
count, you can play bells. The Bell choir rehearses on
Tuesday evenings at 6:30.
• One Sunday evening each month, everyone is invited to
participate in the lively, contemporary music of our Praise
and Worship Service.
•
Children’s Music Programs.
“Sing to him a new song; play skillfully and shout for
joy.” (Psalm 33:3) There are many opportunities for our
children do all these things in worship of our Lord. They
are given opportunities to sing songs, play instruments in
our worship service, celebrate the seasons of our faith,
and make a joyful noise to our Lord. There is a special
music time for ages Preschool through grade 3 before Sunday
school.
There are also opportunities throughout the year for all
Sunday school classes to join in special seasonal programs.
All ages come together to celebrate, worship, and
experience together our Christian holidays and
traditions.
