If you are interested in becoming involved in any of our music ministries, we urge you to contact the Director of Worship & Music (patanderson@rochcov.org) first.
Vocal Choirs
Sanctuary Choir (gr. 6 - adults)
Rehearses: Wednesdays, 7:30-9:00 pm, Sept. - May
Director:
This is the foundational choir of our music ministry. Sanctuary Choir sings for the 8:30am worship service September through May. Our anthem repertoire covers a broad spectrum from Baroque to Contemporary, hymn arrangements to spirituals.
Rehearsals are a time not only to learn music but also to make new friends, have fun, and give expression to your own worship in a smaller group setting. No experience is necessary and you do not have to audition. This is a great place to enhance and improve your musical skills.
Handbell Choirs
Please contact Pat Anderson if you are interested in ringing, to assure placement in the correct choir.
Bells-a-Ringing (Advanced ringers)
Rehearses: Wednesdays, 6:00-7:15 pm, Sept. – May
Director:
Ringing 5 octaves of Schulmerich handbells and 3 octaves of Tonechimes, this group contributes to worship services about every 5 weeks. A wide variety of ringing techniques are used in a broad spectrum of musical styles. Both the entire group and small groups from the choir also go into the community to bring music that witnesses of God’s love through Jesus Christ. This is an advanced group of ringers, so anyone interested in ringing or substituting for this group needs to audition with the director.
Jubellation (Intermediate ringers)
Rehearses: Wednesdays, 7:30-8:45 pm, Sept. – May
Director: Scott Jorgenson
Ringing 3-4 octaves of Schulmerich handbells, this group plays in worship about every 8 weeks. Participants need to know the basics of ringing and ringing techniques. See the director if you are interested in joining this group!
Beginning Bells
We do not currently have a group for beginning ringers, but we are always eager to train those interested in learning to ring. If this describes you, please contact Pat Anderson.
Worship Teams
Hundredfold (adults)
Rehearses: Thursdays, 7:00-9:00 pm, year-round
Team Leader: Will Jacobsen
Our primary worship team provides worship leadership for the Informal Worship Service. Members of Hundredfold participate on a rotating schedule dependent on their own availability and the worship needs each week. Occasional Saturday practices are scheduled to learn new music and get to better know other members of the team. All participants must be able to read music, have excellent intonation, and be musically adaptable. Interested people should contact the Team Leader to set up an audition.
