The Wednesday night children’s program is a holistic approach, integrating body, mind, spirit, and voice, through the study of hymns, liturgy, scripture, music theory/fundamentals, art, and fellowship through organized recreation. This year, the children are divided into three groups: 1) Kindergarteners and First Grade and 2) Second and Third Grades, and 3) Fourth & Fifth grades. As part of our Covenant Choir ministry the children have the opportunity to lead in worship once or twice monthly.
The various elements of Worshipful Wednesdays are listed below:

Learn More About Music at First Church
At First Church music is an integral part of the worship life of our congregation. Each week we take an active role in the liturgy through the singing of hymns and canticles of the church, including: kyries, glorias, doxologies, and other responses. In affirming the liturgical traditions of the Old Testament and the church universal, we frequently sing metrical psalms, antiphonal psalm settings, Anglican chant, and plainsong psalmody using solo cantors and choirs of all ages.
The musical offerings of the choirs seek to glorify God through praise and prayer. These offerings follow the story of the gospel and of the church through the rhythm of the liturgical seasons. Ranging from praise to lament, the anthems and wordless prayers of worship engage the whole self in expressing our deepest response to God.
As part of the church’s story, our worship and music continually shape us, framing our beliefs and forming us in being the church as a faith community. Within this community of faith, we employ our gifts of music for the glory of God, as we seek to faithfully serve in the work and ministry of Christ’s church.
