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 one Sunday a month, and by Susan Minor’s gifts on our grand piano!
The choir, directed by Rick Seaholm, 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.
