An excellent music program enriches all of our worship services. All choirs are always looking for new members. All provide a wonderful time of Christian fellowship, while at the same time, learning and singing music to glorify the name of God. If you are interested in joining any of these choirs, please e-mail the church at office@evucc.org.

 

 

We have a vibrant vocal choir for elementary children! The God Squad is for children grades 2 through 6. The children learn contemporary worship music accompanied by a guitarist have frequent opportunities to participate in worship through singing and moving!  Rehearsals are during the school year following the 9:30am worship service each Sunday morning in the choir room.  Rehearsals will always end at 11:00am.

 

The God Squad director is Lisa Neal, guitarists are Nick Italiano and Dillan Dunnagan.

 

 

The Chancel Choir rehearsals are on Wednesday nights from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the choir room. Our members range in age from 15 to 90. We sing a variety of music from classical, gospel and spirituals to contemporary Christian.

The Chancel Choir usually rotates singing at one of our two morning worship services each week. Our schedule runs from September through May for all choirs. During that time we also prepare for a Christmas and Easter cantata. On occasion we also have the joy of singing with other choirs in the community, as well as with other UCC choirs in a mass festival. Our church has been host to, as well as participated in a number of adult and children's choir festivals. A delightful time of fellowship and singing is enjoyed by all.  Everyone is welcome!

The Chancel Choir is under the direction of Lisa Neal.

Our new 9:30 a.m. Family Worship service is growing!  The Praise Team rehearsals are on Wednesday nights from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the sanctuary. We lead the congregation in upbeat contemporary Christian music, and currently have 3 vocalists, 1 guitarist and 1 pianist.  If you have a special musical talent that you would be willing to share, please join us!  We are currently seeking a drummer for our group!

Our church is also in the process of updating the sound and lighting in the sanctuary.  Anyone who has had experience in sound and lighting, or would like to learn and be on our sound/lighting team in the future, please let us know!

We have a range of four octaves of handbells. We recently acquired a set of 3 octave hand chimes. They are a great addition to our current collection. This group has a vast age range of participants. They have enjoyed performing all over the community.
