Grace Lutheran Church Orchestra Ages: upper elementary grades through adult This instrumental group rehearses approximately four (4) times prior to any service at which they play. They usually play for the Christmas Eve family service, Easter Morning, plus other occasional special services. Special Music Ages: any Because some people are unable to make a regular commitment to attend weekly rehearsals for our vocal and Handbell Choirs, but desire to share their musical talents as vocal/instrumental soloists or in ensembles, we offer opportunities for service in these areas. These opportunities occur mostly during the summer schedule (mid June through August) as well as during the regular schedule. Please see Roy C. Keeler, Minister of Music regarding participation in the music program or providing special music.
