Music at KUMC
Choir
Our KUMC Choir has blessed our church with spirit-filled music, hymns, and anthems. In September 2021, we received our new Organist/Choir Director M. Wayne Hare, a Colleague of the American Guild of Organists. He is experienced with numerous kinds of liturgical music in many different settings. Wayne has had the responsibility for vocal choirs of all ages.
Our current adult choir consists of around twelve singers. We invite anyone to join us for choir practice on Wednesdays, 6:30pm to 8pm. If you love to sing and praise the LORD, we would love to have you join us.
Our choir traditionally takes a break during the months of July and August and we offer special music for for the summertime. For more information, please contact Wayne Hare, 804-572-3598 or MusicAtKUMC@gmail.com.
Bell Choir
The Rappahannock River Ringers began in 1993 with a borrowed set of bells and necessary supplies purchased by the United Methodist Men of KUMC. Our first 3 octaves of bells were purchased about 18 months later. Two years after that, we purchased a 3 octave set of hand chimes. We currently have 3.5 octaves of Malmark bells and 3.5 octaves of Malmark hand chimes.
Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings from 5:15pm - 6:15pm.
We are an ecumenical group, with members from other churches/denominations. Currently we have openings for many ringers, so if you are curious or would like to see how it feels to be a part of an amazing group, come check us out!
