Music (Children, Youth, Adults)

Music has always played a vital part at New World United Methodist Church and is used in many special ways to enhance worship for listener and participant alike.  The music program spans all ages and levels of talent.

Children

The Children’s Music Program offers the opportunity for all children from preschool through 6^th grade to learn about and express their faith through song and music, while having a leadership role in worship and the community.  The Choirs meet on Thursdays at 4pm with the Handbells starting at 5pm. The Good News Choir joins together after school/before rehearsal for snacks and recreation.

Dates to look forward too!

April 26-27 – Mini Tour for The Good News Choir.

“May they sing the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.” – Psalms 138.5

All the children's choirs sing and ring regularly for the worship services at New World.  High points of the M&M Children's Music Ministry during the year are a Christmas Musical, a Spring Musical, and trips to share their music beyond the church at local retirement homes.

Youth

Music for Youth provides opportunities for Junior and Senior Highs to share their zeal for their church and their God as they share their faith in worship and in their community.  Regular weekly rehearsals are held during the school year for the groups listed.

The New Beginnings  Choir	For Junior and Senior High youth meets on Sunday afternoons at 5 PM before UMYF
The Praise Ringers	Handbells for Junior Highs on Monday at 5:30 PM

The New Beginnings Choir presents special Christmas music and a Spring Musical each year as well as taking a several day Annual Choir Tour.  The group also sings regularly for the worship services of the church.

Adults

Almost every adult participates in or comes in contact with music at New World!   If by singing, ringing, playing, leading, or listening, music can be a part of an enriching experience for everyone to "make a joyful noise unto the Lord".
