The Edwards Church Music Program

Our worship service is enhanced by the creativity and talent of many musicians.

We are grateful for the beautiful organ music offered by Cheryl Elkins  and by Susan Minor’s gifts on our grand piano!

The choir, directed by Cheryl and Susan, strengthens the congregation’s voice and offers a special anthem every week. Several special Music Sundays, including Christmas and Easter, feature an expanded choir. Any season is a good time to join the choir.

Periodically, we are blessed with a jazz quartet, solo guitar, bluegrass band or a string ensemble.

Our Music Committee's 2023 annual report is available.

Excited for Spring!For church musicians, the best time to think about spring worship music is the middle of winter, we’ve got to be prepared. For the first time, in mid January, I called together anyone at all who is interested in planning music for our services this Lent and Easter. As I write this, our […]

Summer Music Opportunities

June 7, 2022 by Rick Seaholm

Music at Edwards Church

Introducing “Morning Glory”As we welcome summer, our outdoor services will frequently include opportunities to lead the congregation in song as a “pick-up choir.” I’ve never really liked that term, feeling that it suggests an inferiority or sloppiness. Still, you may hear it mentioned from time to time and you might wonder what it means exactly. […]

Music at Edwards Church

Happy Spring! It’s been such a pleasure the past few weeks to see newer faces participating in our music making on Sunday mornings and Thursday nights. I’m happy that we are offering opportunities that are short-term in nature and which invite people who have never been able to commit to a ten-month choir season. Most […]
