Musical Notes 

  
    Music allows us to praise, honor, and reflect on God through beautiful sounds. Though music has changed dramatically over the centuries, it is a common thread among all peoples, and it has been present in worship since the very beginnings as chant and plainsong. There is always a place for good authentic music whether it be chant, baroque, classical, or contemporary, and we are so fortunate in this generation to have so many styles of good music to appreciate, to learn from, and to identify with. We welcome all musicians, dancers, ringers, directors, etc., who are sincere in their desire to be active in service through the beauty of music. Join us - you will find that the joy and blessings you receive from the music and fellowship far outweigh the commitment.  

 

Chancel Choir
   
  
Singing in the Chancel Choir is a wonderful opportunity to worship God while helping lead others in the worship of our Savior. We sing a variety of choral music covering everything from early Renaissance counterpoint, to a cappelia spirituals, to contemporary choral settings. Choir rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 - 9:00. The Chancel Choir sings at either or both the 8:25 and 10:55 services on Sunday morning. The Choir is open to Sr. High youth who are interested in choral music and all adults.

 

Praise Team
   
   If you enjoy K-Love radio station, or you have found yourself hooked on Contemporary Christian music, consider joining us. We are presently a team of seven vocalists, a piano and a keyboard. If you have experience with piano, synthesizer, guitar, bass, drums, percussion, brass, woodwinds, violin ... etc., please consider joining us. We worship from 9:45 - 10:30 on Sunday mornings. The praise team is open to youth and adults who have sufficient experience in their instrument. 

 

Brass Ensemble
   
  
The Aldersgate Brass Ensemble is a joy to hear. Presently, they play as a standard brass quintet consisting of 2 trumpets, French Horn, Trombone, and Tuba, but there is always room for more. This ensemble is faithfully directed by Bob Estes. The Brass Ensemble rehearses on Monday evenings from 6:15 p.m. to 7:45 p.m.

 

Children's Music
   
   If you would like to be an adult assistant or director please contact Johnny. Kid's Own Worship allows for our children to sing and move in praise of God in a worship setting. These children worship during the 10:55 AM service on Sunday morning, and we look forward to getting them into the sanctuary to share some of their worship songs with us! If your child or youth sings or plays an instrument and would like to share their joy for God through music on Sunday morning, please let Sandra know regardless of their level of proficiency.

 

Sacred Dancers
   
 
  Aldersgate is so fortunate to be blessed by the grace and gracefulness of a liturgical dance team. These young women are beautiful in spirit and in their dance. Sacred dancers rehearse on Sunday evenings from 5:00 - 6:00 pm. Please consider joining them as a dancer or a leader if you love dance.

 

Drama
   
  
A well-done performance can touch the heart and drive home a point that will last in a person's memory for a very long time. Directors, script writers, choreographers, and actors are needed as we begin to look at using drama in our worship. If you have experience in any of these areas, or if you have the desire to participate and learn, please consider using your talents to help develop a new powerful component of worship.

 

Other Opportunities
   
   What are your talents and skills that you believe God is leading you to share here at Aldersgate? You may be able to help either on a regular basis or for a special event in one of the technical or support areas listed such as sound, lighting, set/props and costume.
