 Children's Choirs
We have an incredibly strong, long-standing tradition of excellent Children's Music here at First United Methodist Church. Dedicated professionals have directed our children's choirs for years instilling a sound musical and spiritual foundation.
We are pleased to offer choir to children aged Kindergarten and 6th grade. There are two singing choirs and one hand bell choir.
All children's choir rehearse on Wednesday evenings at the times noted below beginning in September and ending in late spring. Membership is open to children in elementary school at any time throughout the year. The children typically perform a Christmas ans Spring concert and sing in worship on a monthly basis at each of the three sanctuary services. When your child's choir sings in a worship service, we ask that they arrive a half-hour prior to that service time to robe and warm-up. When participating in worship, children's choirs sing early in the service, stay for Children's Time, and then may be dismissed where they can then attend Sunday School or be picked up by a parent.
