Young people need to see that a love for music and a love for God go hand in hand. That’s why our young people can get involved in liturgical music all the way from kindergarten through high school.

To give young people a greater opportunity to take part in music ministries at Saint Andrew’s, rehearsals for each of the following ensembles will take place in the weeks just before ensemble takes part in the liturgy.

Combined Vocal and Handbell Choir for Children

RING AND SING & RING & SING AND RING AND SING..., grades 3-6

These Wednesday evening rehearsals incorporate both singing and handbells/chimes. Our goal is to participate in worship monthly (on Family Worship days, with perhaps an occasional ‘special’ Sunday), Christmas Eve, and Holy Week. All students will sing and ring.

You can register online, or with a phone call to Sharon,
(816) 523-1602, ext. 112.

Jr. High Handbell Choir

Covenant Ringers, grades 7-8

Instrumentalists

Opportunities for students who play band or orchestral instruments include Taizé worship services, and prelude and postlude voluntaries, in addition to descants or accompaniments for hymns and service music. Contact Sharon Hettinger (sharon@standrewkc.org) for more information.
