An
adult singing ensemble which rehearses weekly from September to May
and sings at Sunday Worship Services in the Sanctuary from September
through May. The choir also generally performs two concerts per year
singing oratorios and cantatas often with orchestral and or organ
accompaniment. It has traveled in the past to sing at the Advent-Sing
in Vienna, Austria and anticipates possible trips in the future. |
| When? |
Rehearsal:
Thursday evenings from 8:00 - 9:30 p.m., September through May, in
the Choral Room on the first floor |
| Talent? |
There are no auditions to sing in the choir, just the expectation
of regular commitment and anticipation of enjoying making music in
a very friendly environment with a wonderful group of people. The
ability to read music is a plus but is not required. |

The
Overbrook Junior Choir
| Activity |
A
singing choir for children ages 7-12, which rehearses weekly from
September to May and sings at Worship Services in the Sanctuary approximately
once a month from October to May. The choir also sings at special
holiday services during the year and frequently ends its season in
May with a special cantata in Worship. The goal of the choir, however,
is more than just singing in Worship, as it also serves an education
purpose in teaching the children about the Bible and the church in
general, and its sacred music. |
| When? |
Rehearsal:
Sunday morning from 9:30 - 10:15, September through May, in the Choral
Room on the first floor |
| Contact |
Margene Biedermann, Director. Parents are encouraged to speak with
Mrs. Biedermann if their child would like to sing in the choir. |
The
Westminster Handbell Choir
| Activity |
A
teenage and adult ringing ensemble directed by Music Director/Organist,
Dennis Elwell, which rehearses weekly from September to May and rings
at Worship in the Sanctuary approximately once a month from October
to May. This choir also rings at special holiday Worship services
through the season. Rehearsals usually begin with a time of fellowship
which unites teens and adults in a wonderfully unique way. |
| When? |
Rehearsal:
Thursday evenings from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m. in the Bell Room on the second
floor |
| Talent? |
Though
it is not mandatory and there are no auditions, it is helpful if new
ringers have some basic music reading ability. |
