Music
Program
The Music
Ministry at Barcelona Road Baptist Church has something for everyone! We
sing and play “psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.” We worship, sing and
pray “in spirit and in truth,” with energy and sincerity, in the power of
God’s Holy Spirit and with the understanding of His Word, the Bible. Our
music includes everything from Bach and Handel, to traditional hymns and
spirituals, to contemporary praise and worship selections.
Our 45-voice
choir serves as lead worshipers every Sunday for the 10:30 a.m. worship
service with a warm-up rehearsal at 8:45 a.m. The main rehearsal is
Wednesday, 7:15-8:45 p.m., but we consider the congregation our biggest and
most important “choir.”
The
lead choir presents three major programs throughout the year at Christmas,
Easter, and in the summer, usually accompanied by an orchestra of ten to
fifteen instruments. Anyone high school age and up may sing in our choir
provided he or she will commit to being faithful to rehearsals and services,
and can carry a tune in the same key with everyone else. If interested, call
Duane Blakley at 922-0692.
Our
new 3-octave set of Malmark Handbells have arrived. Our church was able to
purchase these bells with donations given by many of you in memory of Caudis
L. Hicks.
The
Music Ministry provides worship leadership for the entire congregation. We
sing and play "psalms, Hymns, and spiritual songs" with energy and
sincerity, in the power of God's Holy Spirit and with the understanding of
His Word, the Bible. Our music includes a variety of styles from the
classics to traditional hymn and spirituals, to contemporary praise and
worship selections.
Our
40-voice choir, accompanied by organ, piano and occasional solo instruments,
leads worship every Sunday for the 10:30 a.m. service with a warm-up
rehearsal at 8:45 a.m. The main rehearsal is Wednesday, 7:15-8:45 p.m.
However, we consider the congregation our biggest and most important
"choir".
The
choir presents two major programs each year: one during the Christmas season
and another in spring or summer. The choir is usually accompanied by an
instrumental ensemble and/or handbells. Anyone high school age and up may
sing in our choir provided he or she will commit to being faithful to
rehearsals and services, and can carry a tune in the same key with everyone
else. If interested, call Duane Blakley at 922-0692.
The handbell choir (Barcelona Bells) rehearses Mondays from 4:30
to 6:00 p.m. and ring during services several times each season. Again,
anyone who can read music and is interested in ringing should call 922-0692.
