| Music Ministry
We are blessed with many singers, instrumentalists,
ministers, and directors who love to create, support,
and worship through music. Our repertoire spans the
earliest known medieval music, through the Classical and
Romantic eras, to today’s genres including music from the
Iona community, Taize, and other parts of the world. Our music enlivens our services, both worship and fellowship,
and is a part of every age group from children up. If you love
to sing, play an instrument, or ring handbells, we’d love to
talk with you about our music programs. There are
opportunities to glorify God through music for everyone
at Mt. Washington Presbyterian Church.
Vocal Choirs and Ensembles
CHANCEL CHOIR - Provides musical leadership for
Sunday worship services and special occasion services from
September through May. This volunteer choir inspires the
worship life of the congregation through hymns and
spiritual songs, and is open to all adults. SACRE VOCI - Provides anthems monthly in worship.
This small, auditioned group, is open to adults,
and generally sings chamber music. SUMMER CHOIR - Provides anthems in worship in June
and July. This multi-generational group meets an hour before
the 10AM worship service for rehearsal and sings that day. CHAPEL FOLK - Provides special music in worship and
other gatherings. Chapel Folk rehearse weekly, singing with
guitars, keyboard and percussion accompaniment. At this time
we are at full capacity.
CELEBRATION CHOIR - Provides special music in worship
about once monthly. This vocal ensemble is open to youth
grades 7 through 12, and sings during the school year. CHILDREN'S CHOIRS - Provide anthems about once
monthly through the school year. These three choirs are
grouped by age level and rehearse on Wednesday afternoons
as a part of the Super Wednesday program. Elementary
children who do not participate in Super Wednesday are
welcome to join the choir of their age group. Worship
skills are developed through musical activities that often
include instruments, voices, and drama. Handbell Choirs

CARILLON RINGERS: Formed in January of 1994, this is the church’s handbell choir for adults. They ring in worship about
once a month, and at special services throughout the year.
They have attended national conferences and sometimes ring
by request in the community. There is space for any adult who reads music! Rehearsals are held from 6:30-8PM on Sundays.
ALPHA RINGERS: Our junior high ringers ring 3 octaves of handbells and choir chimes. Rehearsals are held from 4-5 on Sunday afternoons.
OMEGA RINGERS: Our high school ringers cover 5 octaves of handbells and 4 octaves of choir chimes, and ring about once
a month in worship and at other special services. Rehearsals
are held from 8-9PM on Sundays, at the close of youth fellowship.
