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
church now has sufficient funds to purchase a 3-octave set of handbells. The
handbell fund was established last year as a memorial for Caudis Hicks.
Barbara Hicks and we in the music ministry are most grateful for each one
who has contributed to this fund. We anticipate starting handbell choirs for
older children, youth, and adults as interest grows and directors are
enlisted and trained.
