Music @ PMLC

"Next to the Word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world." 

-- Martin Luther


We come from a long tradition of music in worship and seek to use the best of the gifts of our members to elevate our praise in worship and "make a joyful noise to the Lord."  Our choirs are open to singers with a variety of skill sets; our ensembles have beginning students next to symphony players; and we pass on the love of music to our children and youth by incorporating music into those ministries.  

  • Sanctuary Choir

    The Sanctuary Choir is our primary choir that leads worship most Sundays throughout the year with a break in the summer.  This choir sings a variety of styles of music from classical to contemporary, and they always have a chair reserved for one more.  More than singing, this group prays weekly for one another and sponsors an outreach project to help others in our community.  Led by Anne Abercrombie, our Coordinator of Music Ministry, they meet Wednesday nights to rehearse and prepare for weekend worship.  

  • Handbell Choirs

    Adults and youth have a chance to participate in a handbell choir and lead a song in worship once a month.  Adult ringers meet Wednesday evenings for rehearsal, adn they cover a range of styles from traditional accompaniments for "A Mighty Fortress" to Coldplay's "Clocks."  Click here to view a video from our youth performing "Clocks."  

  • Praise BAND

    This group, led by Bob Baker, accompanies our worship once a month and adds a modern twist to familiar worship tunes.
