Fourth at First Vespers Series
Join us for an evening of music and vespers on the Fourth Sunday of the month. Each month we feature a different kind of music, interspersed with a little prayer, a little meditation. We have enjoyed jazz from San Franciso and Sacramento, classical music from Liberty Valley Woodwind Quintet, and the energizing music of Black Gospel as sung by Wings of Glory and the Kingdom Travelers. More information.
You Can Be Involved in Worship & Music Ministries
[TOP] Sanctuary Choir
This spirited group of singers serves the 10:30 classic service by leading the congregation in praise songs and hymns, as well as preparing an anthem, or special music, for the offertory. Musical styles range from ancient music to modern, from classical to contemporary. New members are always welcome in this friendly group. Even if you haven't sung since high school, you can join us in praising God. Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings from 7:30pm to 9:00pm in, coincidentally, the Sanctuary from September until mid-June. Call the church to reach Kay Fish, the Choir Coordinator.
[TOP] Praise Band
The Praise Band leads worship and performs music for the 9:00 Contemporary Celebration Service. Call the church to reach Dean DiLello, Contemporary Music Coordinator.
[TOP] Audio-Visual-Lighting Team
The "AVL Team" serves both worship services by providing audio, video, and lighting support. The Video guys setup Powerpoint slides with the song verses, readings, audience responses, and images before for the worship services which they process during worship. The Sound guys ensure that all worship participants will have microphones, that instruments are connect and produce a pleasing sound. During the worship they operate the sound board and record the sermon for CDs, podcasts and audiotapes.
This team consists of 10-12 people who sign up for the Sundays they can serve. Contact Roger Johnson for video Don White for audio and lighting.
