“Friendship, Musicianship, Excellence”

 

 

MUSIC MINISTRY AT MT. CALVARY

 

“Oh sing to the Lord a new song;

Sing to the Lord, all the earth!

Sing to the Lord, bless his name;

Tell of his salvation from day to day.”

                                                                        (Psalm 96:1-2)

 

The goal of the music program at Mt. Calvary is stated simply in this verse.  Through our hymns, liturgies, and other musical activities, we sing God’s praises and tell the world about His salvation. 

 

Mt. Calvary maintains numerous musical ensembles which serve to fulfill this two-fold goal. 

 

The Chancel Choir is open to all confirmed members of the congregation.  This choir sings works from the finest in choral literature from throughout the history of the church, and has recently been very active in teaching new hymns from the Lutheran Service Book.  Rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings, 7:30-9:00, and the choir sings in services on a regular schedule.

 

The Celebration Ringers is our premiere handbell ensemble.  Players of various skill levels gather for rehearsal on Wednesdays, 6:30-7:30, and likewise ring in services on a regular basis. 

 

The Youth in Christ is a vocal ensemble for youth, grades 6-13.  This group also sings fine choral literature, and rehearses on Thursday evenings.

 

The Mt. Calvary Brass Ensemble plays for services and occasional community events. 

 

Besides a common goal, the one characteristic shared by each of these ensembles is that there is room for YOU!
