Music at Grace
Mindy and George Clements offering special music on July 20, 2008 at the Rose Garden Service.
At Grace Church, worship and congregational life are enhanced by opportunities to participate in our music program. At present we have an Adult Choir and would like to restart our Handbell Choir. New Singers and those interested in playing the Handbells are welcomed and invited to contact Mark Cole, Organist/ChoirMaster for more information.
Musical highlights during the year include the Chancel Choir's Christmas and Lenten cantatas, Good Friday, two Christmas Eve services, special instrumental and vocal music on Christmas and Easter Sundays, solos and ensembles. There is special music during the ten minute prelude of the worship service.
In the summer when we have our Rose Garden Service, we have special music of various members of the choir, church members and outside guests.
