Joy Celebration Choir
Service: Joy Celebration Choir
This choir sings mostly unison and 2-part anthems and practices Tuesday nights at 7:00. Rehearsals are informal and fun and a good way to meet new people and make new friends. Joy Celebration Choir usually sings at the 9:30 Liturgical Service and, occasionally, at special events. No audition is required. Just show up, ready to join in fellowship and praise, learn new music, celebrate old favorites and prepare for worship.
Joy Praise
Service: Joy Praise
Joy Praise is a wonderful small ensemble that sings primarily at the 11:30 worship service. Guitars, piano and close harmonies are their trademark. Their focus on praise and worship choruses and songs brings a focus of gratitude and awe to the service. Joy Praise also represents Joy MCC at community events. They rehearse on Sunday mornings prior to the 11:30 service and welcome new members by audition only. Joy Praise practices one evening per week as determined by the group.
Ranan
Service: Ranan
Ranan is the Hebrew word for joyful singing as in Psalm 33.1: “Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous”! Joy MCC is currently recruiting singers for Ranan, a newly forming singing ensemble, that will perform all types of music from classics, to spirituals, to contemporary anthems. This group will sing in 2,3 and 4 parts. This ensemble will provide special music for all three services at various times and for special events. An “every Sunday” commitment is not needed, but a brief, non-threatening private audition is required for membership. Are you interested in learning new songs and in developing your talents as a musician in God’s church? Come, join, sing joyfully! Rehearsal times will be determined as group is formed.
Special Music
Service: Special Music
Do you like to sing solos, duets, trios, or quartets? Special Music is always welcome and can be arranged with the Assistant Pastor of Music at the email address below. We’re hoping that you will come share your very special talents with all of us at Joy MCC.
Drumming Circle of Joy
Service: Drumming Circle of Joy
COMING THIS SUMMER!!! Joy MCC will soon introduce a new musical experience for anyone interested in joining an occasional drumming and meditation circle. Experience is not required.
