Music Ministry
Handbell Workshop Being Planned

your name and phone number in the church office (334-8937)
or call Sonia Wagner (481-1157).
Jubilate
Ringers is an auditioned handbell choir for adults. Performing
on a
five-octave set of Malmark bells, this outstanding ensemble
plays for worship
once each month and performs at the annual Christmas and Spring
Concerts.
The Jubilate Ringers often play for Holiday House at the Edison Home in December
and have
performed with the Southwest Florida Symphony.
Rehearsals: Wednesdays
6:30-8:30 p.m.
The Chancel Choir Has Opted to
Sing Throughout the Summer and Invites You to Join Them!
Thank you to the choir members who have chosen to sing
during our summertime worship services! We appreciate
their wonderful ministry! If you're interested in
singing with the choir on Sunday mornings, please join them in the music room for rehearsal on
Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. No audition is required! If you have questions, please leave
your name and phone number in the church office (334-8937).
The Chancel Choir provides most of the worship music for
Covenant and
normally sings for all three morning worship services (two
in the summer),
performing a variety of musical styles from classical, traditional,
spirituals and contemporary. A strong emphasis is placed on
being a
worshipping community and fellowshipping through prayer as
well as through
music.
Rehearsals: Thursdays
7:00-8:15 p.m.
The Concert Choir
The
Concert Choir is comprised mostly of members of the Chancel
Choir but is
also open to our community. It performs several times throughout
the choir
year as part of the Covenant Concert Series, usually accompanied
by full orchestra. Highlights of the concert season include the annual
Christmas and
Spring Concerts. Works of recent years include: Messiah by Handel;
Requiems
by Rutter, Brahms, and Durufle; Te Deum by Haydn and
Ralph Vaughn Williams;
and Gloria by Rutter.
Rehearsals: Thursdays
8:20-9:30 p.m. during the concert
season and one
designated Saturday each month from 9:00 a.m. to noon.
