Libby Trumble, Director of Music Ministries libby@woodlandpres.org

The Chancel Choir - The heart of our music program at Woodland is the Chancel Choir. Anthems are prepared for each Sunday of the year in addition to special services as needed. The practice and attainment of fine choral skills and blending of 4-part harmony contribute to our worship in a special way. The camaraderie and dynamics of our team effort develop into valuable friendships along the way. We practice from 7:30-8:30 on Wednesdays and meet at 10:10 on Sunday mornings. Music reading ability is not required – just a sincere desire to contribute your best for our worship. The

Handbell Choir - This elite group of musicians provides handbell music for worship services and other special occasions. Because of the nature of instrumental music, note reading and an understanding of rhythm is required. We practice on Sundays from 1:15 to 2:15 p.m. Substitutes are currently needed.

The Outreach Choir - For ministry in its purest form, try this group. We meet on Thursdays from 11:15 to 12:00 to rehearse. Last year, we performed 12 concerts in area nursing homes. We use drama, costumes, props, music and original scripts to entertain some very special people. All ages are welcome. If you are available to practice during the day and are looking for a ministry that is fun and rewarding, sing with us for one show and you will be hooked!

The Outreach Handchimes - Our efforts are the same as Outreach Choir, but we play Handchimes. We practice on Thursdays from 1:15 to 2:00 and then join the Outreach Choir for a schedule of about 12 shows per year. Note-reading abilities help, but we’ll certainly teach you if you are interested.

ACTION Children’s Choir - Art Choir Theater In One Night - and “Action-packed”this class will be! We combine art, singing, dancing, rhythm instruments, handchimes and drama to learn about the Christian faith. We present a Christmas pageant in December and a Spring Musical in May. This class is for ages 4 through 5th grade. Don’t miss it! Wednesdays 5:00-6:00 p.m.
