Music
Community Hymn Festival, Sunday, May 23rd
Each year the West Side Presbyterian Church hosts the Community Hymn Festival, sponsored by the American Guild of Organists (AGO) to support the John R. Rodland Scholarship Fund. For those interested in participating in the choir, the rehearsal will be on Thursday, May 20th, at 7:30 p.m., and warm-up for the Festival on Sunday will be at 6:30 p.m. The Hymn Festival will feature the winner of the 2010 John R. Rodland Scholarship.
The Ministry of Music at West Side believes that its highest calling is to praise God. This vital program, involving more than 300 people each week, is committed to the leadership of worship and to Christian education through the arts. Adult, senior high, and children's choirs as well as handbell choirs, soloists, and instrumental ensembles regularly participate in worship services and in special services of music. The Ministry of Music reaches out to the community through the Patron Series Concerts and ecumenical programs such as Summer Choir School, and the Community Hymn Festival. All is offered "soli Deo gloria"--to God alone be the glory!
