MUSICAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL GOD’S CHILDREN
Whether you are an adult or a child, whether you are experienced or a neophyte, we’d love to have you join us on a regular—or even an occasional basis. With music such an integral part of our worship at Advent, we could use your participation in so many ways. Kids Khoir offers singing and ringing to the elementary school set, while Beginning Recorders caters to older youth. Middle School Youth, Teens and Adults are invited to learn a new skill or improve an old one by joining with Advent Ringers to ring out the Good News. Like to sing? Become a member of the Chancel Choir and lead traditional favorites at the early service(music reading not required). If you have a more contemporary taste, then join Grace Alive! as a singer or instrumentalist at the late service. We need you at either service or both and invite you to participate musically wherever you are led!
