Worship & Music

Worship is very important in the life of Asbury United Methodist Church! Our worship service is neither “traditional” nor “contemporary”, but rather “blended”. This allows our church family to enjoy all kinds of worship music, whether it be a great hymn of the faith, a gospel choir anthem, or the latest praise song.

Do you like to be involved in music? Asbury has 3 different ensembles:

CHOIR

Our choir sings 2 and 3 part choir anthems of all styles in the worship service. Additionally, we may prepare extra music for special seasons such as Advent or Lent, or for special community services at Thanksgiving. The choir rehearses from 7:35-8:30 p.m. Wednesday nights in the choir room, which is located on the lower level of the church.

ASBURY RINGERS

Asbury is very fortunate to have a 3 octave set of Schulmerich handbells and Malmark chimes. This ensemble practices on Wednesdays from 6:45-7:30 p.m. in the bell room which is located on the lower level of the church. The ringers present music approximately every 6 weeks in the worship service and play from the balcony of the church. Additionally, the group is looking at taking part in a massed ring festival in the future.

PRAISE TEAM

This group rehearses Wednesday nights from 8:30-9:00 in the choir room (during the colder months of the season) or the sanctuary during the more temperate months of the year. We also rehearse the first Monday of the month from 7:00-8:00 p.m. These singers prepare a variety of praise music for the service.

SOLO OPPORTUNITIES

Do you play an instrument? Like to sing solos? There’s a place for you in the worship service as well.
