Memorial United Methodist
Church is proud of it
music program, which greatly inspires us in our worship of God. Our program provides opportunities for
music ministry from second grade through adulthood. The importance of music in
the life of our congregation is evidenced by the fact that half of each
worship service is music. We are a
‘singing church’ embracing old and new traditions from all styles
of music.
Memorial
Choir
Memorial Choir is one of the finest choirs in the New York Annual Conference. The choir presents a variety of anthems to
enhance the worship service and to appeal to a diversity of musical
tastes. Choir members have backgrounds
that range from having little formal training to being professional
musicians. This mix of talent,
combined with piano, organ and instruments, blends together to make beautiful
music.
