Choirs
There’s no use standing on false humility here - the 5 choirs and small ensembles directed by Music Director and Organist Anne Wilson are outstanding. Here’s a brief intro to each:
Chancel Choir
Our all-volunteer Chancel Choir has a reputation for musical excellence as well as for fellowship, fun, and its spiritual commitment to glorifying God through music. Members rehearse weekly on Thursday evenings, September through May.
They provide weekly worship music and anthems and participate in many special events.
Sine Nomine Choir
*
The youth (grades 6 - 12) in this choir named it Sine Nomine, Latin for “no name.”
*
Don’t be fooled by the young ages of the singers–this group tackles a lot of challenging music and always delights.
*
They rehearse twice a month after church and sing regularly in worship.
Descant Choir
This popular children’s choir features children in grades 1 - 5. They rehearse every Sunday morning at 9:30 in the sanctuary and sing regularly in worship.Their performances invariably are energetic and well-received. Listen as they perform a perennial Forest Hill favorite: All God’s Critters Got a Place in the Choir
Cherub Choir
Our pre-school choir sings for the pure joy of making music. One Sunday a month they meet from 10:15-11:00 a.m. for a time of singing, moving, playing musical instruments, and having fun making music.
Led by member Lisa Koops, the Cherub Choir sings during worship a few times a year.
*
Voices in Bronze
The Voices in Bronze Handbell Choir practices weekly on Thursday evenin
gs and performs several times a year.
*
Summer Choir
In the summer, the robes come off and anyone who wants can show up early for worship for a quick run-through with Anne Wilson. The singers give it their all, singing easy-to-learn pieces and getting a taste of what being in a church choir is about. The music gets a little jazzier at times, like this wonderful ragtime Gloria led by member Clayton Minder. (Not surprisingly, come fall every year, several summer participants decide to continue year-round.)
Small ensembles
A variety of small choral and instrumental ensembles regularly enliven and enrich the dance of worship at Forest Hill.
