First United Methodist Church

Choir Program

Sanctus Choir is for ages 18 & up, rehearses on Thursday evenings from 7:30-9:00, and sings primarily at the 11 a.m. service on Sunday morning. We have a wonderful time rehearsing music and uplifting each other in prayer and friendship. New members are always welcome to join us. Alayna Young leads this ensemble. Sanctus Choir Bylaws

Angelus Choir (grades 9-12). The Angelus Choir will sing on the first and third Sunday of every month primarily at the 11 a.m. service. They have a wonderful fellowship time in rehearsal and in other activities such as Choir Camp and an annual Choir Tour. Jennifer Semivan leads this ensemble. Rehearsals are Sunday mornings from 10:00-11:00.

Children's choirs meet during the Wednesday evening Holy COW (Church On Wednesday) program.

Pre-kindergarten/kindergarten music time. The emphasis for this age group will be learning about rhythms and basic music stuff. Children may sing for Feast of Carols and/or Choir Recognition Sunday.
Treble Choir (grades 1-3). Children will learn how to use their voices in a healthy way and explore what it means to share their talents in worship services. Jennifer Semivan will be leading this choir.
Revelation Choir (grades 4-8). The focus for this group will be on expanding their skills as singers and learning to sing in 2 or more parts. Jennifer Semivan leads this choir.

Handbells are another way for folks to be involved in the music ministry in a non-singing group. Both choirs are led by Alayna Young.

Celebration Ringers is a wonderful way to explore the skills needed to play bells. Rehearsals are on Monday evenings from 6:45-7:30.
Carillon Ringers is a more advanced handbell group which rehearses on Thursday evenings from 6:30-7:30 prior to Sanctus Choir. Reading music is a help but is not necessary.

If you’ve had any thoughts about joining the music ministry here at Royal Oak First, here's your chance. Speak to Jennifer Semivan or Alayna Young about your place in this exciting program. We need YOU!
