Music Ministry

Who are the people of St. John’s Church Music Ministry?

You’ve seen and heard some of them singing as part of the choir or cantoring a psalm. Some you’ve heard playing flute, trombone, tuba, clarinet, organ, piano, or percussion instruments.

Who are the people of St. John’s Church Music Ministry?

You’ve seen and heard some of them singing as part of the choir or cantoring a psalm. Some play an instrument—we’ve had cello, oboe, guitar, clarinet, tuba, trombone, trumpet, recorder, and melodica.

But the music ministry is also you. Yes, you!  We heard you singing in the pew when we went by during the processional hymn. The music ministry is also everyone in the congregation who participates in the worship service.

Maybe you sang in the choir as a child, in a high school chorus or college glee club. Maybe you played in the concert, jazz, or pep band. Maybe you once played (or currently play) professionally. This is an invitation to you.  Come sing with us (or dust off that ukulele…) Interested--or want more information?

The choir sings at the 10:30 a.m. service from September through May and at our Christmas and Holy Week services.  Choir practice is at 7:00 p.m. on Thursdays in the Parish Hall, 2401 E. Broad St. 

During the summer, the choir meets at 9:00 a.m. in the sanctuary to practice the service music and one simple anthem for that Sunday.  

All are welcome and encouraged to join the choir. For more information, contact our Minister of Music, Curtis Sydnor.

The Adam Stein organ was built in 1905 and restored in 1983. It recently underwent much-needed repair and restoration.
