Jarrettown has a long history of excellence in music in our weekly Worship Services and special seasonal musical programs. Have your worship enhanced and deepened by our music, or join us in one of our musical groups.

Chancel Choir

Sing to the Lord a new song, sing to the Lord all the whole earth, sing to the Lord and Bless His name!

Central to traditional worship at JUMC is the ministry of the Chancel Choir, made up of over twenty dedicated singers of all ages who join together for the purpose of giving glory to our Lord.  Individuals who commit to the music ministry of JUMC understand that their service is a worship offering to God and is of key importance to the worshiping life of this congregation. The musical repertoire of the Chancel Choir is broad and includes standard sacred classical repertoire, masterworks and contemporary anthems. The Chancel Choir sings for the traditional 11:00 service on Sundays and once a month for the traditional 8:00 service during the church year and for significant worship events throughout the year.  The Chancel Choir leads the singing of hymns and offers both a choral anthem and benediction at every service.  In addition, the Chancel Choir presents seasonal and special concerts.  The Chancel Choir rehearses every Thursday evening from 7:00-9:00 from September through early June.   New members are always welcome.  Please contact Sheri Melcher at sheri.melcher@comcast.net for more informationabout the music ministry at JUMC.

A Trio or Quartet sings at the 8:00 am worship

 

Handbell Choir

The Handbell Choir at JUMC plays at special services and at other events.  We invite you to join us, whatever your age or musical experience.  This ensemble is an entry-level choir focusing on basic handbell technique while learning music to offer at occasional morning worship services.  JUMC Handbell Choir rehearses twice a month on Saturday morning.  Please contact Sheri Melcher at sheri.melcher@comcast.net for more information about the music ministry at JUMC.
