Music Program  ~  MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE!

Pilgrim's Music Program enhances our worship services, offering a wide variety of music each month.  Pilgrim is blessed with many gifted musicians.  And, Our Music Committee offers something for everyone with only a small individual commitment, allowing for greater participation by all.  For further information call 587-3690.
 
Every Sunday, September to May, a Hymn Sing precedes each 10AM Worship Service under the leadership of our choir members.

 
Each First Sunday of the month will feature Chamber Music.  Ilse-Mari Lee, Julie Gosswiller, Tom Lee, Bob Britten, Mark Sullivan, Don & Nancy Wilson, Rich & Tana Mayo, Sue, Jerry, Matt and Megan Makeever, and Karen & Alan Leech, are just some of Pilgrim's wonderful musicians who will share their gifts with us.  
 

Each Second Sunday of the month, October to May, our Bell Choir, Peace Ringers, led by MA Bellingham, will play one or two pieces.  Youth and adult ringers are always welcome!  If you read music, Peace Ringers is also looking to "Adopt a Ringer" as rehearsal substitutes, (no Sunday performances required!  See any ringer for details!)


On Third Sundays, our Pilgrim Singers, led by Lloyd Reynolds, will sing something old and something new.  Lloyd is incorporating folk music and more musical accompaniment this year.  New members, young and old (7th grade & up), are always welcome.



 
Fourth Sundays, the Youth Choir, led by Tom Davey, will sing.  The Youth Choir welcomes new voices, including Middle School and High School Students.  They rehearse after church on the second and third Sundays and at 9:15 am on fourth Sundays. 
 
Pilgrim's talented youth will also be featured in solo or group performances on Second and Fourth Sundays: Elizabeth Lee, Katie Lee, Dilynn & Parker Wise, Valoree Overstreet, Erin Brester, Jade Cole, Alyssa White, and Carling & Rachel Peck.  If you know of a youth who should be given an opportunity to shine in God's love, let Kate Bryan know so that ALL may be included.

 
Fifth Sundays will be organized by Connie Cash and will feature our Groovin' Women choir, led by Kate Bryan. Groovin' Women welcomes women of all ages.  You don't have to sight-read music, be a member of Pilgrim, or even be a great singer.  You just need to have a desire to have some fun, sing a little and get to know some really spirited women!  (Childcare is available for mothers needing assistance with children during rehearsals.)



 
Folk/Contemporary Music will also be included in services to fill music slots as needed.  If you have folk or contemporary music you would like to share (instrumental or vocal), please contact Kate Bryan and she will look for a Sunday service where you can share your musical talents.  Just call 587-3690.
