O come let us

Let us make a joyful noise to Him with songs of praise!

Our Music Ministry is an essential part
of the worship experience and we
place a great deal of value in its role. Music can life our
spirits, heal emotional
wounds, and inspire us. Our Music Ministry is one of the most
outstanding
aspects of our Church. Singing is a fun and powerful way to
worship and we
look forward to sharing the gift of music with you. |
Sanctuary Choir
We have an outstanding 50 member Sanctuary Choir. Traditional,
classical,
gospel, and contemporary music are used to enhance the spirit
for worship.
The Sanctuary Choir sings weekly at the 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.
Traditional
Worship Services and for special celebrations. The Sanctuary
Choir annually
presents a Lenten-Easter and Advent-Christmas Concert. Our Hand
Bell Choir,
a brass and woodwind ensemble, and a chamber orchestra accompany
the
choir for these concerts and periodically during our regular

Adopt-An-Anthem or Offertory
You may contribute to our Music Ministry, as well as, to the
budgeting and
financing of all the ministries in our Church by presenting an
anthem in honor
or memory of an individual, place, or special event. These
adopted anthems
are recognized in the bulletins to share with the congregation.
Child Care Music Class
A weekly music appreciation and singing class is offered to all
the children
enrolled in our Child Care Center. The students are introduced
to different
instruments and learn religious, patriotic, exercise, and fun
songs. The class
participates in musical programs within our Church and
community.
Pipe Organ
In 1989, VNUMC purchased and rebuilt a 36 rank Moeller-Helms
Pipe Organ
for our Sanctuary. It took several years for us to complete the
task, a labor of
love by many members of our congregation. Many nationally known
organists
and the Venice Symphony use the organ for recitals and concerts. |
