Chancel Choir: Worship is at the heart of what we do. The Chancel Choir, under the direction of Melanie Eberhard, provides weekly opportunities for musical worship at the 10:45 AM service from September through mid June. Our rehearsals are on Thursday evenings from 7:30 - 8:45 PM in Steinbright Hall. We have a core of experienced singers in each section to give support to the beginning or hesitant singer among us. We invite you to join our musical family any time. Feel free to speak with Melanie at the organ console if you are interested in giving our group a try.

Jubilation Ringers: Welcome to the intergenerational English handbell choir directed my Melanie Eberhard. All ages and abilities are welcome to join. This is the place to make music with your dad, mom, grandma, grandpa, son, daughter, etc. We play anywhere from a level one to a level three in difficulty depending on the number and skill of ringers available.

We also have members from other church communities who want that unique bell-ringing experience and so we plan our five or so performance dates to not conflict with major religious celebrations. We also take our repertoire to a nursing home community once a year. In 2008, we visited Parkhouse Geriatric and Rehabilitation Center in Royersford. Visitors are welcome to give it a one-rehearsal-no-strings-attached-spin-around-the-block try. Just let the church office know so we can have a ringing station with music ready for you.  Photos

Alleluia Singers: We are blessed at Christ Church, UCC by the youngest in our midst. Children rehearse Sunday Mornings in the primary room. Third through sixth grade rehearse from 9:15 to 9:30 AM, and preschool through second grade rehearse from 9:30 to 9:45 AM. After sixth grade, signers may choose to stay with the group or join the Chancel Choir.

We sing four times a year during 10:45 AM worship service: Reformation (end of October), Christmas Eve, Palm Sunday (the week before Easter), and Mother’s Day. Handchimes and percussive instruments are used in our music making. Director, Melanie Eberhard, liskes to play musical games, give tours of the pipe organ and throw an occasional party.

Community Choir: We prepare two contatas a year accompanied by a professional instrumental ensemble. Our first cantata is presented around Christmas and the second shortly after Easter. We rehearse approximately eight weeks before our worship presentation, Thursday evenings from 7:30 to 8:00 PM in Steinbright Hall. You do not need to be a member of Chancel Choir to participate in a cantata. Rehearsal CD’s are available as well as private practice sessions with the Director, Melanie Eberhard. Let us know if you have an interest in joining for one or both cantatas.
