Music Ministry

Music Ministry at Wyoming for Adults and Children

Sing to the Lord a new song, for the Lord has done marvelous things! Psalm 98

It is said that when we sing, we pray twice! Sound is vibration and everything vibrates, dances! Congregational singing in worship or, “making a joyful noise unto the Lord,” taps into the harmonizing of our souls with the Spirit at work in the universe in that prayerful dance. Worship songs are often called “hymns.” During worship, hymns fall into particular categories: praise, prayer, lamentation, thanksgiving, promise, inspirational action, and many others.

The ministry of music is an opportunity for singers and instrumentalists to share their gifts beyond congregational music-making. Some opportunities require particular skills and talent while others invite beginniers, novices and wanna-be’s to try something new. Might you be called to a ministry of music?

The choirs are currently on summer break. During the year, the Chancel Choir leads music on Sundays in worship. The other choirs make special offerings throughout the year. Typical rehearsal schedules are:

CHANCEL CHOIR – Thursday, 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. This choir is open to all people high school age and up.
HANDBELL CHOIR – Thursdays, 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. This choir invites all ages to come and learn together.
PRAISE ENSEMBLE – Flexible This ensemble combines voice and instruments for songs that are more likely heard on Christian or Gospel radio, usually termed, “praise” music or “contemporary.” High school age and up are welcome to join. Speak with Steven to learn more and join the band.
CHILDREN’S CHOIR – Every Sunday during the church school time, kids learn and practice music. They are led by the Director of Children’s Music, Ebony Wiggins. In addition, they lead worship and present children’s programs throughout the year.
INSTRUMENTALISTS – Flexible – All ages. Do you play an instrument: flute, sax, violin, keyboard, percussion, any instrument? To join others or play a solo offering in worship, please let Steven know you are interested.
OPEN CHOIR – From time to time, special music is offered in worship that you may want to share in offering (think Handel’s Messiah as an example). The Open Choir is offered so anyone can participate in rehearsing and offering a single “event” type piece.
