Music Ministry Notes

Music is a very important component of worship at First Presbyterian Church. An ongoing element is the Chancel Choir. We also have a children’s handbell choir. Throughout the year, we enhance our music ministry with instrumental presentations and guest soloists. We also present special music for Easter and Christmas. We want to extend an invitation for anyone to come and be a part of our choir program.

Worship Committee

Purpose

To plan, organize, administrate, implement, evaluate, and make recommendations to session on all matters relating to the public worship of God when such are not specifically reserved by our constitution as the special preserve of the ministers of the Word and Sacrament. In the conduct and manner of all our services of worship, the committee is to be informed by and in conformance with the standards and norms set forth in the PCUSA Book of Order and Directory of Worship.

Background

For many years, the worship committee served mainly as a pulpit supply vehicle whenever a minister of our local church was not available. Recently, with the encouragement and support of our pastors, the worship committee has given its own input on the content and direction of the worship experience.

The work of the committee includes:

       ·        All matters relating to the style, order, times, and the frequency of all public worship services.
       ·        The style, order, times, frequency, preparation, and serving of the Holy Communion.
       ·        The ordering of Baptisms.
       ·        The oversight of sanctuary fixtures, furnishings, and decorations.
       ·        The ministry of music for services.
       ·        Oversight of all personnel who serve in worship except the ministers of Word and sacrament.
       ·        Purchase, maintenance, and storage of musical instruments, choir robes, sheet music, etc.
       ·        Recruiting and scheduling guest preachers.
       ·        Oversight of all broadcasts of our services
