Music Ministries

We say thank you to all the soloists and small groups who gave of their time and talents to provide awesome worship music throughout the summer! God was glorified, and his people at 1^st UMC were blessed by your gifts of music!

Our Chancel Choir and Hi-Lo Ringers bell choir were able to make a return at the end of the spring to finish out their usual choir season, and we look forward to them again being a part of worship this fall. First UMC has been blessed by wonderful music ministry for a very long time, and we give God thanks for that!

To keep our music ministries going strong, we need your help! All of our music groups need a steady influx of new people to keep going, and we have always been fortunate to have that as our experience. Help us get the word out to keep that going. If someone you know (or, hey, even YOU!) enjoys singing, or plays an instrument, or just really likes music, invite them (or YOU!) to come be a part of Music at First.

People in music ministry have a good time, they grow in their faith, they enjoy awesome fellowship with one another, and they experience the power of God’s presence when they make music in God’s name. God gives us talent, and God gives us time. It’s so important to use a portion of those things in celebration of the God who gives them! Prayerfully consider it!
