Praise: Our Worship & Music Ministries

Choir
The Senior Choir, directed by Malcolm Burke, includes singers from high school upward. Our rehearsals are in the sanctuary every Thursday evening from 7:00pm-8:30pm from August through May. Our door is always open to everyone; you don't need to be a member of St. Barnabas to sing with us. No audition is required. We'll always make room for you, whether you come for just an evening to check us out or come and stay for a lifetime - and anything in between. There will be laughter, good times, maybe some snacks, and SINGING! Whether you have sung for years, or this would be your first time, there is a spot for everyone in choir. The choir sings on most Sunday mornings for worship and music will span hundreds of years across many genres. Feel free to reach out to Malcolm for questions or just show up! See you there!

Bells
Our Handbell Choir presents music using our 3 octaves each of handbells and handchimes. Led by Director Cheryl Oie, the group plays monthly October – May. Rehearsals are in Classroom 6 every Thursday evening from 6:15pm-7:15pm from August through May. You need to be able to read music – at least a bit – and be willing to have a great deal of fun. We’re always looking for people willing to sub for a month or two, and are currently looking to add permanent players.

Brass
The St. Barnabas Brass is made up of brass and percussion players in and around the congregation. Participation is open to anyone ready to share their instrumental gifts with the congregation in worship. We generally meet for a one-hour rehearsal about once a month, on a Saturday morning or afternoon, then play at both services the following Sunday.
