bulletSenior ChoirJunior Choir
bulletSt John's Lutheran strives to use a wide variety of musicians to enrich the worship experience. Two organized choirs routinely help to lead worship and prepare anthems. These groups are made up entirely of volunteers, and their dedication to the music ministry is invaluable.

The youngest group is the Junior Choir, for children in grades 3-12. This group rehearses on Wednesday evenings from 6:45 - 7:30.

Our adult group, the Senior Choir, rehearses on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 - 8:45.

In addition to our choirs, we like to use the talents of instrumentalists, soloists and small ensembles.

We hope to create an environment whereby all who have been blessed with musical gifts may share those gifts with the worshiping community to the glory of God!

Rehearsal on Tuesday,  at 6:30 P.M.

The Praise Band: worships at 10:30 a.m. on the 3rd and 5th Sunday. Praise Service is open for vocals and instrumentalist through the audition process. The Praise Band is the most cutting edge of all the groups with guitar, drums, piano, keyboard, and other instrumentalists when available. This is a place for serious musicians who enjoy Christian rock music, are dedicated to a substantial rehearsal schedule, and who are more familiar with microphone technique and have an ear for harmey.

Our Organ  

Our Present Organ

.........is a 1915 Moller Pipe Organ consisting of 9 ranks of pipes. It has given us an increasing amount of problems of late and accoudinory, the congregation decided to remove it and replace it with A Buch-Walker all digital instrument.

 

The New Organ

........ has the equivalent of 40 ranks of pipes, and it is indistinguishable from A real pipe organ. A digitally reproduced Aeolian-Skinner stops pipe organ, the "Cadillac" of pipe organs, was recorded to provide the sound. The new organ will provide new sound, such as the trumpet, and it has the capability of interfacing with the electronic piano and can be pre-set, with no organist present to play. The instrument will cost the Church about $54,000.00 all of which has already been contribed by our members or   from assets on hand.

 

A special feature of this change is that the appearance of our historic and beautiful sanctuary will not be altered  in the least. We shell continue to use our present console and the exterior pipes on the organ chamber will remain in place.
