Music

Shout with joy to the Lord, all you lands; lift up your voice, rejoice, and sing. Psalm 98:5

Children's Choir (grades 2-5)

The Children's Choir is a fun but instructive music experience in which boys and girls learn music reading, sight-singing, good vocal production and Christian education. A degreed children's music educator, Mr. Palmer is the director of this choir and brings so much to our children’s music program at Holy Communion. This choir is an exciting time of music-making each week for 2nd-5th graders. He will also enlist the help of numerous parents to assist with the weekly Wednesday rehearsals and when the children sing on Sunday mornings. Food, parties and trips are also important parts of the choir experience.

Holy Communion Ringers

Holy Communion Ringers is our handbell choir for adults and teens. Handbell ringing is a joyful, active way to provide beautiful music for worship. These dedicated handbell ringers play a three-octave set of Schulmerich English handbells given to the parish by Harwell and Faye Allen. Some basic music-reading ability is helpful for membership. This choir provides music for worship about every 4-6 weeks.
Rehearsals: Sundays, 6:30 - 7:30 p.m., Room 304 (Choir Room)

Taizé Schola

In preparation for our Taizé Eucharist services, held on alternate Sunday evenings, a small group of singers gather at 4:30 p.m. to rehearse and prepare the Taizé chants and songs. Music in the Taizé tradition is meditative and intentionally simplistic, giving the worshipper the opportunity to be completely open to the Spirit while singing. Our Taizé Schola is a perfect opportunity for singers who cannot commit to a weekday rehearsal time; just show up on Taizé Sundays and sing!
Rehearsals: 1st and 3rd Sundays, 4:30 - 5:15 p.m., in the Church
