Music plays an important part in the life and worship of the Congregational Church of Brookfield. Our music ministry offers a variety of opportunities for members to express and share their faith through music.
We have three singing choirs and two handbell choirs. .
Chancel Choir (Rehearsals: Thursdays, 7:00-8:30)
The Chancel Choir provides musical leadership at our 10:30 worship services from September through June. The Chancel Choir is open to high school students and adults. It sings a wide variety of repertoire and style.
Cherub Choir (Rehearsals: Wednesdays, 4:00-4:30)
For children in grades K-2: Children learn about their singing voices, matching pitch, keeping the beat, and early music reading skills. Movement and games are used to teach skills. The children enjoy playing rhythm instruments, as well as Orff instruments. We talk about the words of anthems we sing and the children learn about God through the medium of music. They sing in church approximately every 6 weeks.
Alleluia Choir (Rehearsals: Wednesdays, 4:30-5:45)
For children in grades 3-8. We continue to learn about God by exploring the messages and words of the anthems we sing. The children take on a more active role in leading worship in our church. They sing in church about once a month. They continue learning to read music and they begin to learn how to sing in parts. They love playing the Orff instruments and boom whackers!.
Joy Ringers - Beginning Bells (Rehearsals: Wednesdays, 5:45-6:15)
