Music Ministry
Music is a very important part of the worship ministry at Farmville Baptist Church. Here are ways that you can join in this ministry. We have an adult choir, a youth choir, a children’s choir, and a bell choir. The adult choir sings in worship every Sunday. Prospective members are encouraged to come to a rehearsal or two on Wednesday nights and give any of the choirs a try.
Sanctuary Choir
The Sanctuary Choir is open to anyone who’s interested in singing with us! We rehearse on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm in the choir room, under the direction of Mrs. Anita Lynn. We sing at least one anthem a week, sometimes more depending on the needs of the service and the difficulty of the music. Our repertoire includes a wide range of musical styles, from classical to contemporary gospel and praise music. While some of the music we sing is easily accessible, we do like to challenge the choir with a difficult piece now and then! Childcare is provided during rehearsal time. Anyone who likes to sing is invited to join the choir!
Handbell Choir
The Handbell Choir plays during Sunday morning worship about once a month. The Handbell Choir rehearses on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Handbell Choir room upstairs on the third floor, under the direction of Anita Lynn. Interested ringers should contact Anita.
Children’s Choir
During the school year, the Children’s Choir rehearses on the second and fourth Sunday evening of every month, 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. starting October 2009. Children first through fifth grade are invited to participate. Gail Cave will serve as the director for the choir. The children contribute to the worship services of Farmville Baptist Church at least once a quarter.
