Music
Music is a vital and vibrant part of worship here at FPCE. Our goal is to provide not only music to enhance and elevate the worship experience, but also to provide congregants who so wish an opportunity to worship through the creation of music. We have a staff of professionals who are there to guide and assist the volunteers as they participate in the creation of music.
Chancel Choir
The choir participates in worship throughout the year, except the month of
August. It rehearses every Thursday evening from 7:30 until 9 p.m. in the
fellowship hall, and they meet at 9 a.m. on Sunday morning to prepare for the
10 a.m. service. If you can’t make Thursday night, we run the music before the
service, and the music, along with YouTube links to performances of the music,
are available online and can be accessed from anywhere in the world. The
choir has two parties a year, a year-end garden/swim party and a kickoff party
at the start of the fall season. Call director Jim Raycroft (818)367-1939 for
more information.
Handbell Choir
Handbells are a unique and magical addition to the musical atmosphere of the
worship environment. The best part is that it doesn’t require musical training or
background. Anyone can play the bells, and everyone is welcome. The handbell
choir meets at 6:30 p.m. Thursday evening before choir practice and rehearses for
an hour. Call director Sherron Corner (818)314-4501 for more information.
