Worship/Music

Worship/Music

Worship, of course, is central to the life of Atonement and music is central to worship. The church has a fabulous pipe organ and we have recently added two new pianos to enhance our worship experience. We are blessed with four great musicians and the church offers two singing groups to help lead worship. The Early Risers are a small group of dedicated singers that help lead the 8am service and the Chancel Choir leads the 11am service. Both groups practice on Tuesday evenings, the Early Risers at 6:30pm and the Chancel Choir at 7:30pm. Both groups are always looking for new people to join them.
