 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; Good Shepherd offers a variety of musical service opportunities, vocal and instrumental, for youth and adults. Festival Singers The Festival Singers enhance the worship services, singing for special services. The Singers typically rehearse Thursday evenings starting about five weeks before events. Everyone who enjoys singing is welcome, although some musical experience is helpful. The Festival Singers are directed by Adam Phillips. Praise Band The dynamic and enthusiastic Praise Band instrumentalists (guitars, percussion, piano, harmonica) and singers lead the congregation in contemporary worship on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. Contact Adam Phillips for further information. Youth Praise Band The Youth Praise Band also leads the congregation in contemporary worship on Sundays at 10:30 a.m about once per month. Contact Adam Phillips if you are interested. The Youth Praise Band rehearses on Sunday afternoons. Shepherd's Bells The Shepherd's Bells is the adult handbell choir at Good Shepherd. They play for the worship services usually once per month. Twelve to fourteen ringers ring five octaves of Schulmerich handbells, occasionally adding other instruments such as four octaves of Malmark hand chimes, or other instruments. Rehearsals are every Thursday. Shepherd's Bells is directed by Joan Barnett. Good Shepherd Ensemble The Ensemble offers special music for worship services and seasonal presentations in our church and provides adn opportunity to share musical gifts for anybody who plays a brass or wind instrument. For rehearsal and performance times, contact Susan Miller. Solo, Duet and Small Ensemble Music If you enjoy singing or playing an instrument and would like to share your gifts in a worship service, we encourage you to contact Adam Phillips. We often have members share their musical gifts of singing or instrumental music, and it is always a greatly appreciated enhancement to our worship. |
