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

All Ages Manna Choir
Our choir is all ages and drop-in style. The choir is led by Shannon Kingsbury and Alison MacNeill. No experience needed! Come when you can! Let's have fun singing together! Click here for more information.
Practice: First Sunday of each month, 10:15 a.m. (before the Manna service), Choir Room

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: Tuesdays, 3:30-4:30 p.m., Music Room

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., Music Room
