during the 11:00 Worship Service.

The Memorial Handbell Choir schedule:

The Handbell Choir participates in the 11:00 worship service monthly.

The choir also attends a Handbell Workshop every other year.

All musicians, liturgical dancers, and drama participants are encouraged to attend the annual Montreat Worship and Music Conference in North Carolina.

Liturgical dancers interpret song
and Scripture during many of our
worship services, with the dances
being choreographed by the more
experienced dancers.

The Kirk Players, a
multigenerational group, enacts
Scripture and leads antiphonal
readings during the worship
services. Their preparation
includes studying and making sense
of the Scripture for that particular
worship day.

The visual artists in our
congregation work together to
add meaning to the worship.
Their works reinforce the Word
being sung, danced, enacted
and preached.Thoughtful use
of visual elements is one of the responsibilities of the Worship
Committee.
