CHANCEL CHOIR sings each Sunday, September thru May, during the 10:30 morning Worship Service.  The choir offers a wide variety of music, from traditional anthems to hymn-based anthems to newly-released contemporary pieces.  Cantatas are offered at Christmas and Easter. 

KIDS KLUB meets during the school year on Wednesday afternoons from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in Fellowship Hall. Students from Preschool-Grade 2, and Grades 3-5 enjoy lessons, activities, snacks and singing. The children share their songs at morning worship services on a regular basis.

RESURRECTION RINGERS HANDBELL CHOIR is an advanced choir made up of adults, high school age and up.  The choir, which rehearses on Sunday evenings, September - May, at 7:00 in the bell loft of the Sanctuary, performs periodically during worship services. 

FOREST STREET CAFE BAND leads our Saturday evening praise and worship in Fellowship Hall. The band also participates in special occasions, both in the church and the community.

CONGREGATIONAL SINGING of traditional hymns and contemporary choruses is a highlight of every worship service at First Church. John Wesley encouraged the Methodist people to "Sing lustily and with good courage". You don't have to be in a choir to raise your voice in praise to God - simply join us Sunday morning!

WON'T YOU JOIN US? Whether you are a friend or member of First United Methodist Church, musically experienced or not, there is a place for you in one of our choirs or in one of our pews.  There are many doors open to you and we welcome you with open arms!
