“Let every instrument be tuned for praise; let all rejoice who have a voice to raise.” –ELW Hymn #851
Immanuel has a rich tradition of glorifying God through music. This happens in the pews each Sunday when our congregation joins together in song. It happens from the balcony when our choirs sing. God is glorified when an instrumentalist, bell choir, flute choir or brass ensemble plays. All are warmly welcomed into one of the following Immanuel Choirs:
This bell choir for high schoolers and adults prepares handbell anthems as well as occasional accompaniments for hymns and psalms. The Jubilate Ringers play in worship once a month. Wednesdays, 6:45-7:45 p.m.
The adult choir (high schoolers, too!) leads worship on most Sundays from September to May as well as festival services. The choir learns a wide variety of choral repertoire of many different genres and hymns and liturgy as needed to lead worship. Rehearsals: Wednesdays, 7:45-9 p.m.
(grade 9 and up) All you brass players, dust off your horns! The Immanuel Brass usually plays four times a year and is very low-key. Come blast away! Call or email to get your name on the list.
(grade 9 and up) Calling all flutists! Our Flute Choir meets occasionally to provide music in worship 3-4 times throughout the year. Call or email to get your name on the list.
This choir is for youth in 7-9th grades.
This choir is for children from 2nd through 6th grade. Games, singing, vocal technique, and exploring instruments are all part of our time together. We focus on learning the Lutheran liturgy and hymns. The Choristers lead worship every 4-6 weeks and end the singing season with a musical! Wednesdays, 5:15-6 p.m.
The handbell choir for grades three through eight rings every six weeks in church. In our time together, we focus on music literacy, handbell techniques, music games, and fellowship. Join us! Wednesdays, 4:30-5:15 p.m.
This choir is for children in kindergarten – 2nd grade. In this choir, we explore our emerging singing voices, through games and other activities. The choir sings in worship every 6 to 8 weeks at the 10:30 a.m. service. Sundays, 9:15 a.m.
This choir of our little ones meets during the Sunday School hour 9:15-10:15 a.m.. They sing in worship four times a year.
A summer day camp where faith and creativity connect
Immanuel’s Music and Arts Camp is a week- long summer day camp where faith and creativity connect in a God-centered environment. The camp’s mission is to offer the children in our community the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of visual and performing arts. Each elective will be taught by highly qualified teachers who will engage the campers in exciting and fun ways!
The camp culminates with a Friday-evening Closing Celebration for family and friends.
