Music for ALL!

Music participation and enjoyment is for is for ALL ages at First Church - from the young children in the Cherub Choir, or the teenagers in our Youth Ensemble to the Adults in the Gospel and Adult Choirs. Our musical offerings on Sundays are as varied as possible, exploring the entire gamut of Christian music, from music of the Renaissance through the present day, from traditional to experimental. Instrumental accompaniment includes our Austin pipe organ, harpsichord, grand piano and a variety of string and brass instrumental groups. We even have regular appearances by a local barbershop quartet! For more information contact Jim Boratko (Email - jeboratko@snet.net).

During a service celebrating the completion of the rewiring of the Organ Console and installation of digital capability, children demonstrate the various organ pipes from the longest - deepest tones to the shortest - highest tones.
