Music Ministry
Welcome to Music Ministry at Westminster UMC. We are so excited that you found your way to us and would like to extend an invitation to you to participate in any and all of the opportunities we can provide. Singing is a beautiful way of becoming the body of Christ and we believe everybody ought to be part of this. When we sing together we breathe together and our hearts beat together in perfect unison. In Psalm 96 the psalmist proclaims to ‘Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord all the earth’. Notice that there is no qualifier here; all the earth literally means all of us, whether we think we can or cannot sing and we are here to tell you that YOU CAN SING!
Now, that that is out of the way please join our Chancel choir in singing praises to God, leading our congregation in song and learning about God through singing. The Chancel Choir sings an anthem every Sunday in the Traditional service at 11:05 and leads the whole congregation in singing to God. Rehearsals are on Wednesdays from 7:15 to 8:55 PM. All are welcome to join, no skills required, just come with the desire to sing. Email Ben LeClair or Suzi Byrd to join our Chancel Choir.

Westminster Fine Arts Series
Each Sunday school class – Children, Kids and Youth - will choose and prepare a tribute to the review. (Their leaders will help and support them in that endeavor.) Their tribute can be a song, a skit, a dance or any other Christmas related performing art they can think of and put together.
In addition, we want to encourage each child or youth to offer their talents as they feel comfortable. Again, that could be a Christmas related song, (solo, duet or small group) a dance, a skit or a combination of all of these. We are ready to help with whatever they will need for that. As they will build community with one another in creating and practicing their offerings, we will be able to witness God’s amazing creations through each one of them.
For individual offerings please submit your title, a brief description, who is doing it and what you might need (an accompanist, props, etc.) at sbyrd@wumc.com by November 11th.
We look forward to what God is going to do!
