Music Ministry
Back to Programs
2006
turned out to be a great year for the music department
of RRC! The
youth choir, which was started in the fall, has been
enhanced by the membership of two boys, Bobby and
Brian Cole, those inseparable but enthusiastically
devoted first cousins.
The choir has progressed very nicely this year,
and we hope that many more of our church youngsters
will join the ranks in the near future.
The
Cymbalum Ringers (youth bell choir) have also added
two more members to its roster:
Casey Haines and Wesley Mauger.
Fortunately, they both came armed with
strength, for they take care of the bigger bass bells
with ease. We
now have more kids involved in the bell choir program
than at any other time in my tenure at RRC!
The
Readington Ringers (adult bell choir) have done a
fantastic job this year.
They have met the musical challenges of
performing some very complex and difficult pieces.
And they have done so gleefully and always with
smiles on their faces.
Kudos to them!
Sadly, this fall we had to persevere without
the excellent ringing of Dawn Thompson (who is now
realizing that pregnancy is almost as much fun as bell
choir…). But
Jen Weber, possessed with inimitable talent, has
graciously come to our rescue.
And
last, but certainly not least – what would we ever
do without the magnificent efforts of our Chancel
Choir members?!?
As is true with our other ensembles,
recruitment is up here, too; Jennifer Krol became our
newest member in October.
And Jessica Iselin, Lydia Lelah and Emily
Smalley, our gifted high school students, have
supported our ranks admirably.
Perhaps these good and noble souls deserve our
most fervent praise and admiration, for they continue
to lead worship on a weekly basis and do so, on a
consistently high level.
We look forward to another splendid year of
music making at RRC in 2007!
