Senior Choir
The adult choir enriches worship on Sundays with special
emphasis at Christmas and Easter. A Christmas cantata is
presented during the morning worship service on the second
or third Sunday in December. All who are interested
in praising the Lord in song are welcome to join
the choir. Rehearsals are on Thursdays at 7:30 pm.
During the summer from the middle of June until after Labor Day,
members of the choir or congregation provide special music every
Sunday in the form of solos or duets, trios, etc. The choir does
not hold regular rehearsals during this period.
Instrumental music besides the organ and piano is also
provided during the year, including chamber music by a
quartet consisting of flute, violin, cello, and harpsichord.
Other members of the congregation also add their instrumental
"voices" (flute, percussion, French horn, trumpet)
from time to time to the worship services at Good Shepherd.
Senior Chime Choir
This is a chime choir which consists of adults and high school age
youth, and plays primarily during the Christmas and Easter seasons
to enhance the worship service. The Chime Choir has also played at
weddings and nursing homes in the area. Rehearsals are at
12:00 -12:30 pm on Sundays.
Junior Chime Choir
This is a chime choir for youth in 4th - 8th grades who play mainly
during the Christmas and Easter seasons also, but have enhanced the worship
services at other times of the year as well. They have joined the Senior
Chime Choir in playing at nursing homes in the area. Rehearsals are at 8:45
to 9:15 on Sundays before Sunday School.
It has been observed that
Lutherans love to sing
, so naturally there are
some other groups raising their voices in song as well.
Sunday School Classes (Grades 5 - 8)
This age group meets together, directed by their
teacher, Joyce Klauck, and at times join the Senior
Choir in singing anthems during the worship service.
Nursery - 4th Grade Classes
Sunday School children in this age group meet after their classes
with Christine Roegge who leads them in song. They generally sing
during the Sunday worship service once a month.
