Adult Bell Choir
The Adult Bell Choir is for adults and youth 13 years and older who have an interest in playing handbells. The choir has a 3 octave set of Malmark handbells and plays for church festivals, various Worship services and
concerts. The Rainbow Ringers group is open to any St. Bartholomew member whether you can read music or not - we will help you learn. Practice is normally held on Thursday night at 7:30.

Youth Chime Choir
The Children's Chime Choir is for young people from 7 to 12 years of age. Musical talent is not required. The choir has a 3 octave set of Malmark Choir Chimes. Children can begin to gain an appreciation of music at an early age. The Children's Chime Choir offers youth the opportunity to make friends, gain personal confidence and become a more important participant in Worship service. Normally they will play during Worship service approximately once per month (see Worship Schedule). For more information please call or email the Church (above) or click here to send an email to the Music contact.

Adult Praise Group
Part of the Outreach Ministry, this Group is a Music Group at St. Bart’s. The group meets in Fellowship Hall from 6-8 pm on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month. The group participants are asked to bring their gifts of singing, instrumental music and the spoken word and to learn to use them to praise God. In addition they are invited to bring their musical instruments to practice in a workshop group setting so they can lift their music as an ensemble to the Lord. Norman Marcelle works with the group and intends to use this ministry to blend music, language, and human cultures to the glory of God. For more information please call or email the Church (above) or click here to send an email to the Adult Praise Group contact.

The Adult Praise Group is open to all persons 14 years and older with a musical talent, the desire as well as a commitment to learn and grow with the reality that praise is an art. It is truly the desire for group participants to fellowship with the St. Bartholomew church community but it is not mandatory. All persons should have their own instruments eventually in order to grow.
