Chancel
Choir
Each
worship service at the church is enhanced and highlighted by the talented
voices of our chancel choir. The men and women of the choir bring their
vocal talents to a wide range of inspiring musical selections. Under the
leadership of our Music Director and Organist, the offerings of hymns
and anthems both traditional and contemporary inspire us
and are an integral part of the richness of our services.

Instrumental
Music
In
addition to organ music, our church members regularly offer their musical
gifts by providing special instrumental music for worship services. The
First Congregational Church is fortunate to have members and friends who
enthusiastically share their instrumental abilities including flute, guitar,
brass and strings.

Hymns
At every
service, the congregation is invited to sing hymns from our hymnals that
accent and help weave the story on a particular Sunday. The Church uses
two hymnals: the Pilgrim Hymnal, a collection of time-honored songs and
the New Century Hymnal, a modern book of classic and recently composed
hymns.

precision of our Bell Choir. The Bell Choir Director conducts the talented

with this unique sound on certain Sunday mornings.

Programs for the Young
Children
in Kindergarten through grade 2 are encouraged to sing with the "K-2
Singers" a group that meets regularly to sing. Juniors in grades
3-5 and Youth in grades 6-12 participate separately in a segment based
program throughout the year, where they have the opportunity to learn
to play the handbells, learn to sing together in a group, and experiment
with playing other instruments, or singing in a small group or solo. All
music programs for young people offer their gifts in Sunday worship on
occasion.
