We have three choirs for children of different ages to participate in Music Ministries at FUMC. All three meet for rehearsal on Wednesday afternoons, September thru May and follow this schedule:
3:45-4:00pm – SNACK TIME;
4:00-4:45pm – Cherub Choir(Age 4-Kindergarten) rehearses with Tammy Sparks;
4:00-4:45pm – Trinity Choir (Grades 1-2) rehearses with Kristen Gossett;
4:45-5:30pm -Wesley Choir (Grades 3-6) rehearses with Kristen Gossett and Abi Parker.
While the Cherub & Trinity Choirs rehearse from 4:00-4:45pm, the 3rd-6th Graders participate in a fellowship time known as MORE with Kim English, Children’s Ministries Director. Likewise from 4:45-5:30pm, children age 4 through 2nd Grade take part in the MORE Bible Study, also with Kim English. To learn more about that program, CLICK HERE!
The Cherub, Trinity, and Wesley Choirs rehearse throughout the school year and often help to lead us in worship. In addition, these choirs culminate the first Wednesday in May when they present a children’s musical!
For more information about these Children’s Choirs, contact Kristen Gossett, Music Director: 940-766-4231, x225.
That’s just what fifteen children (including two visitors) and six adults did as they went caroling at Presbyterian Manor and The Gables on Wednesday, December 7, 2011.
These are just two of the comments about the special worship of lessons and carols with live nativity on December 4, 2011.
All vocal choirs (Cherub, Trinity, Wesley, Chapel, and Chancel) worked to make this event a success along with members from the Asbury Ringers, Elizabeth Yeager (flute), several youth and ministry assistants in the live nativity, and the ministry staff.
Special thanks also goes to all of those who brought goodies for Cafe le Paul in the Atrium prior to the service!

The sanctuary was packed for this production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat that brought together 48 performers – not to mention directors, stage and tech crew, and others who worked behind the scenes to bring this great event to fruition.
If you missed the performance, you missed a really fun time as the inspirational story of the Joseph was told in song! It was great to see so many people from our community in our church who do not usually attend here. What a great outreach! Special thanks to Judy Braddy for set painting!
Check out pictures from this great event, thanks to DeEdra Folmar!
This fun musical was originally written by Andrew Lloyd Weber for a friend’s son’s prep school production. It is the Old Testament story of Jacob and his 12 sons (including their wives and children), and, of course, Joseph’s coat . Pharoah and Mr. & Mrs. Potiphar help the plot to thicken!
The Music Ministry of FUMC will present this multi-generational musical with over 45 children, youth, and adults in the cast with many more assisting on costumes, tech crew, etc.
This is our gift to our church and community:
