JOHN’S CHURCH
From the earliest times music has been associated with the worship of God. Along with the singing of psalms, the Old Testament records the use of instruments and dance in worship as far back as the book of Genesis. Over the centuries the numerous eras of choral and instrumental music have provided us with an infinitely varied heritage from which to draw for our worship. It is the desire of the Music Department of St. John’s Church to offer a graded singing choir program and a handbell choir, both to enrich our worship experiences through music and to give our choir members the opportunity to learn the foundations of hymnody, liturgy, music history and music theory as they participate in our program. To this end we offer the following: The Chancel Choir provides music for worship on a regular basis at the 10:00 a.m. service. Including college students and adults, this group rehearses on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 until 9:00 in the Choir Room. The Chancel Quartet is comprised of four paid section leaders who sing with the Chancel Choir. In addition, they are often featured as soloists in our major choral works with orchestra. The Celebration Singers are made up of young people in grades 4 through 12 who sing at the 10:00 a.m. service on the first and third Sundays of each month. Rehearsals are Sunday afternoons from 4:30 until 5:15 in the Choir Room. The Junior Choir, children in grades 1 through 3, rehearses on Monday afternoons from 4:15 until 5:00 in the Choir Room. They study the elementary aspects of liturgy, music history, music theory and hymnody, providing service music once a month at the 10:00 a.m. service. The Evening Bells, an intergenerational handbell choir, rehearse on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 until 7:20. Rehearsals are in the Church Balcony, and this group provides handbell music in worship throughout the year. Our choirs are also featured from time to time in special concerts, services, musicals and programs during the year. If you or any member of your family would like to become a part of the musical activities of St. John’s Church, please contact Dr. Michael Bedford, Organist/Choirmaster, at 742.7381, or email him at
