Music
What's it sound like around here?
At St. Peter’s, music helps everyone share in the spirit. Whether listening, singing or playing, everyone has a part.
You’ll hear traditional hymns, melodic choir arrangements, string quartets, wind ensembles … even a bell choir. And you can participate in any or all of them that you’d like. Director of Music Tim Moore and Associate Director of Music Elaine Akermann welcome you!
Choir
The choir sings at both the 8:30 and 11:00 am services. It is comprised of men and women, from youth to seniors. The choir rehearses on Thursday evenings at 7:00 pm, but please see "2 Busy 4 Choir Rehearsal" below.
Handbell Choir
St. Peter's was thrilled to add an official handbell choir to our musical offerings. This group of wonderful bell ringers truly adds a joyful noise to the sanctuary. Anyone may participate -- rehearsals are Thursday evenings at 6:15. Please contact our Handbell Choir Director Cheryl Keckler for more information.
Special Music
Periodically throughout the year and during the summer, we feature special music. We invite talented vocalists and instrumentalists to perform -- many of them are in our congregation. Flutes, french horns, trumpets, guitars, violins, sopranos, tenors and basses often add musical life and color to our worship services.
Children's Music
Music Directors Tim Moore and Elaine Akermann get kids involved in many special music opportunities. There's the 4th-6th grade percussion group, the Singing and Signing Group, and special children's choirs.
Hymnal.
We use the New Century Hymnal.
