Sanctuary Choir, directed by Evalyn Sudderth, accompanied by Laurie Nicholson

This group of adults of all ages leads music in the 8:45 and 11:00 worship services each Sunday and provides music for special services throughout the year such as Maundy Thursday, Christmas Eve, Easter sunrise, and an annual musical program. Rehearsals are on Wednesdays from 7:00 to 8:15 pm, except for Fellowship Supper nights (3^rd Wed. at 6:30), when we begin rehearsal at 7:15 to allow choir members time to eat dinner, too!

Rumple Ringers, our handbell choir, directed by Laurie Nicholson, includes high school students and adults who play our 3 octave set of Malmark bells during worship services numerous times throughout the year. We rehearse weekly from 6:00 to 7:00 pm, except for Fellowship Supper nights, when we rehearse from 5:30 to 6:30 so that we may attend dinner together. Child care is provided in our nursery area.

Koinonia Choir, directed by Laurie Nicholson, is for students in grades 5 through 7. This group is growing and is becoming more active in worship leadership. The choir sings and plays handbells in worship. We rehearse each Wednesday during the school year from 2:45 to 4:30, with van pickup at Blowing Rock School at 2:30.

ChoirPlus, led by Laurie Nicholson and parent and grandparent volunteers, is an afterschool program on Thursdays from 2:45 to 4:30, with van pickup at Blowing Rock School at 2:30. Besides singing and moving to music, we do craft activities, Bible stories and videos, snack time, and play time.
