Since the beginning of Biblical history, God’s people have used music as a vital part of their worship experience. In the Old Testament, God molded music and worship into a glorious union. At First Congregational UCC we offer a wonderful music program led Christy Dunsmoor. For more on Christy please see our staff page! There are many ways in which you can participate in our music program. Or if you would like, just sit back and experience the music.

There is Special Music offered at most of our services:

• Twice a month our choir sings
  

• Once a month our bell choir plays
  

• Once a month a Sunday is used to give people the opportunity to do solos, duets, etc. 
  

• We also offer children's bell choir for our young worshipers. 
  

The Choir - The choir is organized, directed, and accompanied by our Music Director, Christy Dunsmoor. Choir sings regularly two Sundays each month. They practice an hour before the services and occasionally earlier when needed. Our choir sings two to three times during the service, for the Prepare, Special Music, and for Communion if and when that is given.  Practice is held at 9:00 a.m. on Sundays and service is at 10:00 a.m. Occasionally, the choir will meet at 8:30 a.m. to allow for some other rehearsal time. The choir is held during a normal school year - September through May. All are welcome to join and sing praise onto the Lord.

The Bell Choir - We have a very dedicated volunteer bell choir that leads music one Sunday each month. The bell choir has an amazing sound and really gets us prepared for worship. They meet every Monday evening for rehearsal from 7:00 - 8:30 p.m.

Children's Music - The Sunday school program offers music for our students.  The students sing and can also play in a children's bell choir.  A few times a year, they will sing and/or play the bells in the adult service.  It is a wonderful time when they do this! We are blessed to have wonderful Sunday school teachers who help them - awesome job!

“I am strongly persuaded that after theology, there is no art that can be placed on the level with music. For besides theology, music is the only art capable of affording peace and joy of the heart.”

-Martin Luther

Solos, duets, dance, etc... - Whenever possible we encourage other artists to share their talents as well. Whether it be instrumentalists, vocalists, dance etc... Each month there is a Sunday set aside for our members or family and friends of members to come in and share their God given gifts with the congregation.
