MUSIC MINISTRY OF FLETCHER UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.  Psalms 95:1

 

 Fletcher United Methodist has a wonderful music ministry with many opportunities for all ages.

Our Director of Music is Cathy Bashaw.  If you are interested in joining any of our music groups, you may contact the church office or Cathy Bashaw at cbashaw@bellsouth.net.

Chancel Choir - This group sings regularly at the 11:00 a.m. worship service and occasionally at the 8:30 a.m. service.  Everyone from middle school age to adults is invited to join.  The only requirement is that you want to sing!  Rehearsals are Wednesday nights from 7:30 p.m. until 9:00 p.m.

Memorial Handbell Choir - This group rings 6 to 8 times a year during the worship services.  With 5 octaves of bells, there is plenty of room for new ringers.  Want to ring but have no experience or can't read music?  Not a problem!  We will teach you.  Everyone from high school age to adults is invited to join.  Rehearsals are Wednesday from 5:45 until 7:30 p.m.

           Praise Ringers - This is a beginning handbell group for varying ages.  If you don't read music, we will teach you and have fun at the same time!  Rehearsals are Wednesdays from 4:15 p.m. until 5:15 p.m.

Children's Choir - Children ages 3 through grade 5 meet as part of the WOW program on Wednesday nights, 6:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m., September through May.  The children sing several times a year at the 11:00 a.m. worship service and perform special music during Advent and in the spring.

Mixed Ensemble - Want to sing but cannot make a weekly commitment?  This is the group for you!  This group sings 2 to 3 times a year for the morning worship services.  Everyone from middle school age to adults is invited to join.

Instruments - We have opportunities for instrumentalists to play solos, play in ensembles and accompany the choirs.

 

 

Want to sing with the Chancel Choir for the Advent & Christmas season?  If so, begin coming to rehearsals on October 12th at 7:30 in the sanctuary.  We will reheard the Christmas music at the beginning of the rehearsal, so that those who are only singing during the Christmas season may leave after this portion of practice.  Contact Cathy if you have any more questions.
