Handbell Choir
Our handbell choir is a volunteer group open to teenagers and adults who would like to try and ring bells and enjoy the fun fellowship. The choir plays throughout the church year and for special events including Christmas Eve and Holy Week services. We are a 3-octave choir with a core group of approximately 10 ringers. We would love to add to this number, and we're always looking for prospective ringers to join us! (Rehearsals: 6:30-7:15 p.m. Wednesdays)
Chancel Choir
No audition is required for this ensemble and we are open to all singers. The choir performs throughout the church year with special Christmas Eve and Holy Week concerts. We perform at least one major choral work annually, including requiem masses and anthem concerts. Guest musicians perform frequently with the FPC Chancel Choir to enhance the worship services. We invite any interested singers to come and join us. (Rehearsals: 7:30-9 p.m. Wednesdays)
