Worship & the Arts
Join the Choir for 2026!
You do not have to audition or be perfect at reading a musical score. You just need a love of singing and a desire to touch and change people's lives!
We rehearse on Wednesday nights from 7:00-9:00 in the Nave.
We will be focusing on beautiful music to share for the Seasons of Lent, Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter.
Please email Kenda Meyer, Chancel Choir Director if you need more information or have specific questions.
This is a great group of people who love to sing and also enjoy social outings together! It's not often you get to sing with a choir of this size. We would love to have you!

Reaching Out
“A HUGE THANK YOU for all the donations given in 2025, we have reached out and helped so many in need.”
Coat Drive Begins January 11th!
Our annual Coat Drive runs from Sunday, January 11th through the 25th. We are collecting new or used coats in all sizes, for both children and adults. Donations may be placed in the yellow bin in the narthex. All coats will be donated to A Precious Child to help those in need stay warm this winter. Thank you for your generosity!
Hugs for Kids: Coming in February
In February, we invite you to share a little love through our Hugs for Kids collection. We will be gathering new books and stuffed animals, which will be donated to A Precious Child and used as birthday gifts for children in need. Your thoughtful donations help make a child’s birthday feel special and celebrated.
