Music - Get Involved

 Our church has a rich history of music ministry. There are groups for singers and instrumentalists of all ages. We recently renovated our Reuter pipe organ, which is played at our 9:00 and 10:30 am Sunday services. Music enhances the theme of our worship services and can enable worshippers to feel the presence of God. We praise and glorify God through the gift of music. For more information on any of our music groups or events, please contact Ann Gerdom (agerdom@wdmumc.org), organist and interim choir director.
