Choirs and Music Programs
Here at Aldersgate, one of the ways we praise God is through a
broad spectrum of choirs
and other music programs. You don't need to sing like a member of the
Metropolitan Opera to participate - all you need is an average voice
and a desire to join with us in using it in praise of The Lord. In
addition to the vocal groups, there are a number of groups featuring
instrumental or mixed vocal/instrumental music. Click on the following
to see some of the particulars:

The Joyful Light Singers are Aldersgate's principal senior choir.
Joyful Light sings at the 10:30am Service on most
Sundays, and also presents concerts of special music at various
times during the year. On a typical Sunday, between 14 and 18
choir members sing to the Lord, but we can accomodate far more!
If you are between the ages of 12 and 100, you are welcome to
join us. Joyful Light are directed by our Organist and
Choir Director, Jan Niemann.
Joyful Light rehearses every Thursday evening from 7:30 to 9:00pm.

The Good News Ringers are Aldersgate's distinguished Bell Choir.
Good News plays for one service each month, from
September through June. In addition, some of the bells ring
descants for the hymns at Sunday morning worship services.
A set of hand chimes has recently been donated to the
Good News Ringers through the generosity of the Faith
Factor Praise Band. These hand chimes will be used both
by themselves, and to supplement the standard handbells.
Remember,
you don't need to be an accomplished musician to join us and
participate. The Good News Ringers are led by Bell Choir
Director, Lee Ann Peterson.
Good News rehearses every Thursday evening from 7:00 to 7:55pm.

Faith Factor is a mixed instrumental/vocal group which plays
contemporary Christian music.
Faith Factor plays at several of
the Sunday morning services during the year,
and holds a number
of Saturday or Friday evening coffeehouses.
In addition, Faith
Factor carries some of its music into the community - for example,
Faith Factor has played in a boardwalk program at Ocean Grove,
and at the Middlesex County Fair.
Faith Factor have their own website, which you can visit by clicking on the
logo at the right.
Faith Factor rehearses at 7:00 p.m. on most Fridays.

Certain music requires special voices - the lilt
of female voices, or the deeper sonorous tones of
male voices. This special music is performed at the
10:30am service on an occasional Sunday during
the year, and particularly during the summer months.
For these occasional times, we form
a Women's or Men's Chorus including members of the
Joyful Light Singers and members of the congregation
who wish to sing but cannot participate in the Choir
every Sunday.
Rehearsal for either Chorus is held in the week
prior to the performance.
