SANCTUARY CHOIR

• This group of individuals is at the heart of our music ministry. They faithfully lead the congregation in worship at both the 9:15 and 10:30 hour, during the months of September through June. Their voices aid the congregation in learning new praise and worship music as well as inspiring the listeners with special selections consisting of a broad range of musical styles. In addition, this talented group enhances the Christmas and Lenten seasons. No audition is necessary, but a willing spirit and a passion for singing is expected! Rehearsals are held each Wednesday evening from 7:00-9:00 in the Music Room located on the north end of the main complex. For more infornation, contact Larry Walker or Grant Collier. Childcare is provided.

• For those who possess a desire to sing, but find themselves in a time-crunch schedule and unable to attend rehearsals on Wednesday evenings, the LRUMC music ministry offers The Choir Connection. Meeting for only ONE hour (7:00 p.m. in the Music Room), TWO Thursdays each month, this rehearsal is chock full of focused practice time allowing the singer to remain involved and equipped to join us in choir on Sunday mornings. For more information, please contact Larry Walker or Grant Collier. Childcare is provided.

• A diverse group of musicians that worship the Lord through instrumental music, the Instruments of Praise, participates year round in both sanctuary worship services by accompanying congregational singing, choral anthems, and occasionally soloists and ensembles. This highly talented group rehearses on Monday evenings from 6:30-8:30 in the Sanctuary. The Instruments of Praise always encourages new members and welcomes players from differing backgrounds.
