“I will be loyal to the United Methodist Church and uphold it with my prayers, my presence, gifts and my service.

One of the most vibrant ministries in Keith Church is the music ministry.   This ministry crosses age lines and is an active part of services at Keith.   Adult, youth, and children's vocal groups, as well as an adult handbell choir, share their musical gifts in worship continuously.  Membership in all groups is on a volunteer basis.

Chancel Choir, Wednesdays, weekly, 7:00—8:00ish pm

The Chancel Choir is open to all, 9th grade and above, who like to sing and want to be a part of serving through music in worship.  Weekly rehearsals for the fall season begin Wednesday, August 6, 7:00pm, in the choir room; the choir sings each Sunday in the 10:35am traditional service and in additional services as needed.  The repertoire of the choir runs the gamut of good sacred choral works, including larger works for the Christmas season.  All materials — vestments, folders, music, etc. — are provided.

Cornerstone Choir, Wednesdays, monthly, 6:00—6:50pm

The Cornerstone Choir is open to all, 9th grade and above, who also like to sing and want to be a part of serving through music in worship.  Monthly rehearsals for the fall season begin Wednesday, September 3, 6:00pm, in the choir room; the choir sings each Sunday in the 8:30am traditional service and in additional services as needed.  This choir enjoys singing hymns and the like, appropriate for the early service.  All materials are provided.

Grace Chimes, Wednesdays, weekly, 4:30—5:20pm

The Grace Chimes is open to all, 4th grade and above, who enjoy making music with handchimes and serving through music in worship.  Weekly rehearsals for the fall season begin Wednesday, August 27, 4:30pm, in the handbell room; Grace Chimes serves in worship periodically throughout the season.  Reading music, although not required, is  certainly a plus.  We enjoy learning a variety of music and having a good time along the way!  All materials are provided.

Handbell Choir

The Handbell Choir is open to all, 9th grade and above, who enjoy making music with handbells and serving through music in worship.  Weekly rehearsals for the fall season will begin soon, at a time/date to be announced; the Handbell Choir serves in   worship periodically throughout the season.  Reading music, although not required, is certainly a plus.  The Handbell Choir is reconstituting itself after a hiatus, so, if you have ever thought about being involved, now is the time!  All materials are provided.

Children’s Choirs, Wednesdays, weekly, 6:00—6:50pm

The Children’s Choirs are open to children, through fifth grade, who enjoy making music and praising the Lord.  Weekly rehearsals for the fall begin Wednesday, August 27, 6:00pm, immediately following the fellowship dinner; the children’s choirs serve in     worship periodically throughout the season.  Come and make a joyful noise for the Lord!
