Welcome to Music Ministry
At the heart of Prosper UMC Music Ministry is worship. We sing and play instruments to direct ourselves and others toward God. No audition is necessary to participate in our music ministry, only a willing heart and a desire to serve. Whether you are a professional musician, or just a music lover, we welcome you to join us and make a joyful noise to the Lord!
Through various musical opportunities, the music ministry program provides a vehicle for musical, personal and spiritual growth to all ages. Rehearsal experiences include the learning of the great hymns and anthems of the Church, skills in singing/playing and music-reading, learning about the worship of the church, fellowship activities and service. The universal language of music is not only a wonderful means to offer praise and thanksgiving to God, but an excellent method to learn more about the Christian faith and scriptures.
Music Groups
PUMC Chancel Choir
The PUMC Chancel Choir is open to all persons 7th grade thru Senior Adult that are interested in worshipping God though song. Music reading skills and prior singing experience are not necessary, just a willing heart and voice. We help lead singing and present an offertory most weeks in the 11:00 a.m. worship service from August-June each year. In addition to singing we often share laughs and prayers with one another. Regular rehearsals are Wednesdays at 6:45 p.m. in the Sanctuary.
Children's Choir
The Children’s Choir meets Sunday mornings at 9:45am during the school year. Open to children grades Kindergarten-5th.
Joyful Noise strives to help each child find and develop their singing voice while learning the songs and hymns of faith. Joyful Noise sings in worship several times a year.
All God’s children have a place in the choir!
Music Ministry Activities
For those looking for a short-term opportunity to worship in song or those who do not want to be up front every Sunday, participating in one of our cantatas is a great option. Each year we typically present a Christmas Cantata. Rehearsals are held together with the chancel choir but are shorter in duration, growing as the presentation approaches. Childcare available with prior notice.
Do you play an instrument or are you interested in singing a solo, duet or trio at some point? We have all sorts of opportunities for those interested in using your musical gifts in worship at both services as individuals or in small groups with more to come.
Do you like to act, sew, or are you interested in learning how to help operate our sound system? Opportunities are available for ministries in these areas and are important ways that you can help with music ministry that do not require singing or playing an instrument.
