Music
Music at Providence Presbyterian
Church is an integral part of Worship and Christian Education. Our church is blessed with an
exceptional Music Department with many opportunities for all ages to participate
in "making a joyful noise unto the Lord."
We have both singing and handbell choirs and a number of talented musicians who make-up an exciting and inspirational music ministry. New singers and ringers are always welcome!
Music Director: Valetta Fellenbaum
Organist: John Dixon
Our singing choirs include:
Chancel
Choir
If you're an adult who loves to sing, even though you may not have strong music
reading skills, this group's for you! The Chancel Choir sings most Sunday
mornings during the Worship Service. Rehearsals are held weekly on
Wednesday evenings from 7:30 to 9:00 PM. Anthems for the Sunday Service
are rehearsed for several weeks prior to their presentation, so that everyone is
comfortable with the music.
Joyful
Noise
This choir welcomes youth in grades six through twelve. They substitute
for the Chancel Choir on occasion, singing the anthem and responses for the
Service. Rehearsals are on Sunday mornings in the Chancel from 9:00 to
9:45 AM.
Singing
Souls
This children's choir welcomes those in grades two through five. They sing
in the Worship Service about once every five or six weeks, and also present a
Spring musical. The group meets on Sunday mornings in the Choir Room from
9:00 to 9:45 AM.
Cherub's
Choir
This children's choir welcomes those children ages 4 through first grade.
They sing in the Worship Service about once every five or six weeks, and also
join with the Singing Souls for special occasions. They meet on Sunday
mornings in the Fellowship Room from 9:00 to 9:45 AM.
Our handbell choirs include:
Bells of
Providence
This adult handbell choir is comprised of experienced ringers who work with five
octaves of handbells. They play frequently in the Sunday Worship Service
and participate in area handbell festivals. Music reading skills are
essential to feel comfortable in this group. The group learns bell
technique and enjoys exciting musical challenges. They rehearse on Tuesday
evenings from 7:30 to 9:00 PM.
Merry
Bells
This adult handbell choir is for those with little to no ringing
experience. If you want to learn more about music and bells, this is the
group for you! The group meets on Sunday mornings at 9:00 AM.
Youthful
Bells
This ringing group is for youth in grades six through twelve. Ringers will
improve their music reading skills, learn handbell techniques, play in the
Worship Service, and possibly attend a youth handbell festival. The group
meets on Sunday afternoons from 5:00 to 6:00 PM.
Joyful
Chimers
For children in grades three through five, this group uses handchimes, which are
lighter than handbells but played with the same techniques. It's an
excellent group to learn the essentials of handbell techniques and music
reading. They practice on Sunday evenings from 6:00 to 6:30 PM.
