Music Program

Music Director - William Balz

Welcome to the Laurel Hill United  Methodist Church Music Program. 

  We at Laurel Hill are blessed with having a very active Music Program. 

                                             

          

We would like to invite you to come and join our Adult Choir, which meets on Wednesday nights from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.   This is a fun-filled time of praising God with the gift of music and fellowship.  All who would like to Praise the Lord with song are invited to come.  (You do not have to read music, you just need to love to Praise the Lord with your voice).  Everyone is WELCOME!  

      

We would also like to invite you to join our Hand Bell Choir, meeting on Thursday nights at 7:30 p.m.   This is a wonderful time of fellowship and making music with Hand Bells to Praise the Lord.  Playing the Hand Bells does not require previous experience or reading music.  Again, all are WELCOME! 

                                                      

OUR CHRISTMAS CANTATA -- HOLY NIGHT OF MIRACLES -- IS HERE!! If you would like to join us, please let do so. Practice is on Wednesday evenings from 7:00-7:30.  (Since this Cantata will be sung to a Performance Orchestrated CD, additional practices may have to be scheduled.)

                                                  Let us make a joyful noise unto the Lord!

                                 We are embarking upon something "new" and "exciting" at LHUMC!!

                                  Interested in learning what it is all about?  Give us a call and see!!  

                                  There is Worship Through Music Ministry available for 

                                                                       EVERY AGE GROUP.  

                                              COME & JOIN US & BRING A FRIEND OR TWO!!

 

                                     

Children's Choir practice is every 3rd Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and they sing at the 11:00 a.m. Worship Service.  We would like to invite all of the children to come and join our Children's Choir.  At the present time, all ages are combined into one Choir, but hopefully, when more children participate, we will have more than one Children's Choir.  Parents are encouraged to participate in Sunday School during Choir practice time. 

Anyone who has the time or can take the time is encouraged to participate in our special music ministry.  These practice times are fun-filled times of praising God through the wonderful gift of music and are great fellowship experiences.  Music is a very large part of our worship experience and the more participation we have, the more we can accomplish to make our worship service more enriching.

Laurel Hill is very blessed to have 3 wonderful musical instruments in our Sanctuary.  We have a very fine Rodgers, 2 manual electronic organ, a Kurzweil Electronic Keyboard, and a new Yamaha piano.  We are also very blessed to have 3 Octaves of Hand Bells as well.

Come be a part of "Making a Joyful Noise Unto to the Lord" in one of our choirs and our music program.
