Senior Choir

Summer Memorial offers many opportunities for our music ministry.  The choir is open to adults and youth and serves our Worship Service each Sunday as well as special services.  This choir rehearses each Thursday at 7 pm in the choir room.  Rehearsals normally last an hour.  The members of the choir enjoy a fun time of fellowship as well as learning new hymns and preparation for the services.

A group of very talented ringers play our three-octave handbells for special festivals and other services.  We always are in need for ringers.

The children perform special music during Christmas and Easter, and always enjoy outstanding performances following Vacation Church School.  The music is fun and easy to learn for the group's ages three-to-ten.  They normally rehearse prior to the special performance times.
