"Make a joyful noise unto God .. Sing forth the honor of his name: Make his praise be glorious." Psalm 66
Music is an integral part of our worship experience at Washington Street.
Our choirs serve as worship leaders throughout the church year. Soloists
and small ensembles regularly enhance our experience of worship. There
are four musical organizations in our church.
The Sanctuary Choir - Directed by Arletta Raley and accompanied by Ralph
Rozier, the choir rehearses on Wednesday evening from 6:30 to 8:00 PM and
also on Sunday mornings at 9:30 AM. You may join the Sanctuary Choir at
any time by contacting Arletta Raley at 776-5520. This choir sings regularly
at the 11:00 AM worship service and for special services during the year.
Special arrangements are made for choir members who wish to attend a Sunday
School class.
The Handbell Choir - The Handbell Choir practices on Wednesday afternoons
from 5:30 to 6:30 PM. Washington Street possesses one of the finest sets
of English handbells available anywhere. They were a gift from Mrs. Grace
Turner many years ago. Membership in this group is open. For more information,
call Arletta Raley at 776-5520.
The Washington Street Singers Choir - This choir is open to children
in grades two through six.

For the choir members, their relationships with each other are a
special part of being involved in this ministry. Opportunities to be together
include a yearly retreat in the fall and social occasions in December and
May. We would like to have all of the singers at Washington Street involved
in this ministry. Come join the choir! Child care is available.
