 Our Music Ministry

Praise the Lord!  Music has traditionally been an enriching testament to the United Methodist faith.  The church's music is an uplifting and graceful way to pray.  And who says you can't have fun with some of the more spirited hymns and praise songs that seem to invite you to sway to the music, clap your hands, and even tap your feet.  We can do that in the comfort of Wright's Chapel.

We're fortunate to have a Music Director, Clay Motley, who encourages folks to get involved.  We would love to have you join our choir, which sings at the 8:45 a.m. Sunday service.  Practice is at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesdays.  If you play a musical instrument and are willing, Clay can envision using your talent in an ensemble or praise band to accompany the choir, soloists, or simply provide special spiritual music during our worship services.  In the absence of the choir, our 11:00 a.m. Sunday service features soloists who share their ministry with us through music.  Our youth are a great resource for these opportunities to serve.

The selection of hymns for our worship services reflects the diversity of our congregation.  And also the theme of that day's sermon.  From week to week you'll join in singing a variety of the old favorites, gospel songs, new contemporary songs, and praise songs.  Occasionally, we're blessed to have our own religious dance group present their interpretation of a spiritual message.

As much as hymns are a part of prayer, we recognize that not everyone feels they can carry a tune or sing in public.  Not to worry.  It's only a few hymns that are scattered throughout the worship service.  Whether you sing or just listen, you're still offering up your prayers to God.  And you can still sway to the music, clap your hands, and tap your feet.
