MUSIC MINISTRY
O
ne of the highlights of my work
at I.P.C. is rehearsing with our
children. On September 17, we began
Chapel Choir with ice cream and fun.
We had a great group and hopefully that
will last throughout the year!
Chapel Choir
The following is a list of what goes on in
Chapel Choir:
1. As you know, the children are
encouraged to memorize the Hymn
of the Month and sing it individually
to Mrs. Tevis Garnett or me each
month. After singing six months,
January-June, or July-December, the
children are given an award. Not all
of the children participate in this,
but many are regularly memorizing
and singing the hymns/Psalms each
month.
2. The Chapel Choir is also learning to
read choral music. In Cherub Choir,
1 st and 2 nd grade, the children learn
note values, rhythm, time signatures
and clefs. In Chapel Choir, all of
those pieces are put together on the
page, and children have to begin
reading the music along with the
words.
3. Right now the Chapel Choir is
learning an anthem that we will
sing some time in October or early
November. Also, with Christmas
coming ever closer, we will begin
practicing music for the Lessons and
Carols service.
Seraph and Cherub Choirs
On October 15, the Seraph Choir —
4-5-year-old children, will join the 1 st
and 2 nd grade children (Cherub Choir) in
the Choir room from 10:10-10:30 a.m.
This is in preparation for our Lessons
and Carols Service. CD’s and Booklets
will be mailed soon.
On Sunday, September 24, we began
full Youth Choir rehearsals. It was well
attended and I feel we are off to a good
start. So, if you are 6 th grade-High School
age, the Youth Choir is for you. We
work hard, but also have a lot of fun, and
singing for our worship services is a very
rewarding endeavor. It is a wonderful
way for you to serve this church. In
order to sing in the Lessons and Carols
Service, you need to attend rehearsals!
Please join us! Sundays-4:00-5:00 p.m.
Sanctuary Choir
The Sanctuary Choir prepares music
for weekly worship and will soon be
working on Christmas music. We stil
