MUSIC

chancel choir

My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.  - Psalm 57:7

Chancel Choir is a joyful group of folks who love making music for the Lord.  We meet weekly for rehearsal on Wednesdays at 6:00 PM.  Our music style encompasses traditional hymns to contemporary praise, as well as gospels and spirituals.  Mary Lawson and Sandra Culler serve as pianists/organists for the choir.  Everyone is welcome to join us and sing praise to the Lord!

DRAMAS

Drama has become a very important part of our ministry here at Richlands First Methodist. We began with the Living Last Supper Drama in 2000 and over the years it has grown.  Every Lenten season we share drama that brings the scriptures to life.  Many in our church now participate in skits and dramas to bring a different aspect to our worship services and community.
