A Note of Invitation from the
Director of Music and the Arts

Music and the creative arts are integral parts of life and worship in the Presbyterian Church. The creative arts help reflect our common faith and beliefs, and give expression to our faith. We offer opportunities for anyone interested in making music and using other artistic gifts in the Lord’s honor. Choirs and instrumentalists, bands and ensembles provide a wide range of music to enhance our worship services throughout the year. Their music is meant to glorify God and to urge us to greater mission in the world. Actors rehearse skits and plays that offer powerful messages for God’s people. Our children’s music ministry is committed to combining quality musical training with Christian development. Music and worship have the potential to change lives and bring the world closer to the living God. If God has blessed you with a gift for the creative arts as well as desire to participate, then consider yourself invited to use that gift in the Lord’s honor here at Clairmont!

Soli Deo Gloria!
Mike Strain

 

YOUTH AND ADULT MUSIC MINISTRY

Chancel Choir

The Chancel Choir is our main service choir. It is open to all singers of High School age and above. In addition to their wonderful week to week ministry in worship, the Chancel Choir presents two extended works or cantatas each season, usually with professional instrumental accompaniment: the first being presented at the Candlelight Christmas Eve services, and the second sometime in the spring. All music presented during the year includes a wide variety of styles from traditional anthems and motets to spirituals, gospel, and folk.

PLEASE NOTE: Prior experience and full-year/every Sunday commitments are NOT required. While the Chancel Choir team works toward artistic presentations of substance and integrity, greater importance is placed on their prayer and fellowship life together, supporting a primary reason for their being called together: to worship Almighty God.

They are charged with leading the congregational hymns and songs for this service of worship. If you have a gift to offer this team, or know of someone who does, please contact Tim Lloyd (260)414-0628, tdlloyd AT emory DOT edu.

Clairmont Youth Orchestra

Groundwork is being laid for a possible Youth Choir forming at Clairmont. Contact Mike Strain for more information. All middle and high school age youth are welcome to join the Chancel Choir. There are now several youth who sing in this choir from time to time. Talented and motivated youth can become members of our First Light Music Team (by invitation only). Our youth are also asked to participate in the “youth only” solo and ensemble performances occasionally. Particularly, we try to get together an organized group of instrumentalists for special services each year. All youth in middle school and high school who play a band or orchestra instrument are welcome to participate. When this group is called together, they usually meet for rehearsals two weeks prior to their scheduled worship offering time. Let us know if you play, sing, and have a desire to participate.
