Sanctuary Choir

The Sanctuary Choir at PAUMC is a group of approximately 25 voices that sing at every worship service from mid-September to mid-May.  The choir year ends with The Great Day of Music where the scriptures and even the sermon are done musically.  The choir’s repertoire is large, and includes a wide variety of music such as classical sacred music, spirituals, music from other lands, bluegrass and an occasional jazz number.  We also perform a Christmas cantata and Easter program, usually with a full orchestra.

We have an exciting and meaningful music ministry at PAUMC.  Music is very important to us, and members of the church are encouraged to share their musical gifts either vocally or instrumentally.  

SonRise

SonRise is a contemporary Christian Women's singing group.  The group has evolved and changed quite a bit through the years and sings a wide range of music,  from reverent 4-6 part harmony to very lively jazz and gospel pieces.  Variety is the spice of this group's selections!   We sing the first & third Sundays of the month as well as holidays during the school year.  Please join us!

Handbell Choir

The adult Handbell Choir, made up of both men and women, rehearses Sundays at 8:45 a.m. September through May, and rings at worship services the fourth Sunday of the month. Ringing three octaves of Schulmerich handbells and two octaves of handchimes, the group plays a wide range of traditional and contemporary sacred music. Persons interested in joining the choir are asked to contact the director, Mary Nelson. Prior ringing experience is not necessary; prospective members should have played the piano or a band/orchestra instrument in the past and have a willingness to faithfully attend rehearsals.
