First Parish Church
~ MUSIC ~ Music Program Making a "joyful noise unto the Lord" is a vital part of the worship service at First Parish Church and there are choirs for all ages. Our worship life is greatly enriched by the finest state-of-the-art combination pipe/digital organ in the area. Capable of producing a rich variety of sounds over a wide dynamic range, the organ serves as a centerpiece of our musical ministry. |
Music Committee The nine member Music Committee is charged with seeing that the music program runs smoothly, including preparation and supervision of the music budget, maintaining the instruments and music, care of robes, etc. Receptions for special music presentations, such as Handel’s "Messiah" (presented every other year on the even numbered years), are also part of the committee’s work. |

First Parish Ringers We offer a unique and wonderful opportunity to serve God and the church by ringing in our handbell choir. We ring approximately once a month in the church service as well as for other functions such as weddings, nursing homes and programs in the community. It is a wonderful opportunity to serve through music. Choir Chimes A group of young people (5th through 7th grade) who provide music for the church service approximately once a month. Choir Chimes is a wonderful opportunity for beginning "ringers". You do not need to read music to be in Choir Chimes and it is a wonderful opportunity to learn beginning ringing.
