Dear friends,

There are countless Scripture readings that share how we are to worship our God through music.  One that comes to my mind is Ephesians 5:19, Speak to one another with the words of psalms, hymns, and sacred songs; sing hymns and psalms to the Lord with praise in your hearts.  Market Square has had a long reputation for a “top-notch” music program.  This has come to be the case thanks to our many volunteers who dedicate countless hours for rehearsals, singing in worship, and more. All of our choirs are made up of volunteers who love to sing and ring, and use their talents to worship and praise our God.  Music plays a vital role in the worship at Market Square.  If you sing and/ or ring, I want to encourage you to get involved. Do not let this opportunity pass by; God gave you a talent for a reason. If you do not sing or ring and would like to support our music ministry, please see me on ways to do so.  

 

Grace and peace,

 

Tyler Canonico
Minister of Music & Organist

Our intermediate to advanced handbell choir.  Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and are in the Handbell Rehearsal Room located on the fourth floor of the church.  This choir rings in worship at least once a month.

High schoolers and adults make up this choir.  Rehearsals are on Thursday evenings from 7:00 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. are in the Choir Room located on the first floor of the church.  This choir sings two anthems weekly for our 11:00 a.m. worship service, and sings for Holy Days and other special services and concerts.

This choir is for any high schooler and adult who cannot commit to singing in the Sanctuary Choir weekly.  Tyler offers this choir to sing quarterly for our 11:00 a.m. worship service.  An announcement about when this choir will sing next is always in the bulletin and on our website.  We will gather at 10:00 a.m. the morning we are to sing, learn the music, and then sing it during worship.

We have a number of opportunities for instrumentalists to get involved.  If you play an instrument, please contact Tyler.
