Music
Except June-August, the choir rehearses every Sunday morning at 9 a.m. in the sanctuary. All joyful voices are welcome!
Bell Choir, the Seaside Ringers, are featured for holidays and special occasions. Ringing is fun and requires little musical knowledge. Watch the bulletin and newsletter for more info.
Our music director provides a wide variety of congregational song selections to add to our weekly worship experience.
FUMC Choir practice will resume when it can be done safely for both the participants and the congregation.
