Bell Choir - Plays, once a month at the 10:30 AM Worship Service

Vocal/Instrumental/Solo's and Groups - Persons and groups from the choir and congregation present musical selections at the 8 AM and 10:30 AM Worship Services.

Organ/Piano - The pipe organ at Grace was rebuilt and expanded in 2000. The organ has great tonal variation and power to support the choirs and congregation.

Don Fritz Senior Choir Director/Organist

The piano is regularly used along with the organ to accompany the choirs and the congregation.

M. Bachman Assistant Choir Director/Pianist

The senior choir is open to interested persons, age 15 and older. The choir performs at each 10:30 AM service; except during the summer when the choir is on "vacation" and music is provided by special groups each week at the single 9:00AM service.

Vocal - Instrumental - Soloist and Groups - Directed by Don Fritz. People from the choir and congregation are scheduled to participate as soloist or group singers in both the 8 AM and 10:30 AM Worship Services. The opportunity to perform alone or in a group has proven to be welcomed and exciting by the participants, because of the sense of individual accomplishment. Three rehearsals for each solo/group are scheduled for 9AM on Sunday's and either before (6:30 PM) or after (8:00 PM) Wednesday Senior Choir rehearsals.

Rehearsals are both work sessions and fun occasions, held every Thursday from 7 PM to 8 PM.

An annual Christmas Cantata, a Christmas party and a spring banquet round out the excitement.
