Music

Making music, making friends

Music at Harcourt is organized by our Director of Music and Arts Ministries, Alison MacNeill.
The Harcourt Choir
This is a busy choir: church services, musicals, pageants, and outreach activities in the community such as concerts and fundraisers. Most importantly, we help lead weekly worship. Many of our singers are heavily committed to work in the community and beyond, so all efforts are made to be flexible and welcoming. You won’t regret setting aside some time to come and sing (and laugh) among friends!
​
Practice: Thursdays, 7:30-9 p.m., Sanctuary

The Handbell Choir
We love to make this uniquely beautiful music and to spend time together as friends, playing on occasion in church and especially lending our silvery sound to the Christmas season. All are welcome to give it a try — or come to watch and listen!
​

Practice: Fridays, 12:30 p.m., Music Room

Lightshine Singers
We meet to sing for joy and to Sing Out at assisted care homes in the area. All women are welcome.

Practice: Tuesdays, 10 a.m., Sanctuary
