 Opportunities  

St. Andrew’s Music Ministry seeks to proclaim Jesus Christ in worship through music. Opportunities exist for all ages to discover and strengthen God-given musical talents for glorifying our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Parents:  After they have sung, the choirs are excused with the other children to go to Sunday School, or they may join their family for the remainder of the worship service.  

You may pre-register for choirs on Sunday mornings in the Sanctuary or you may call Dianne Nash at 651-762-9141. Although we appreciate pre-registrations, you may also register at one of the first rehearsals.


CHORISTERS (grades K-1)
Director: Miriam Sikora
Choristers is our joyful youngest choir offering, comprised of children in kindergarten and grade 1. Singers participate at the 9:45 a.m. Sanctuary service, usually on the second Sunday of the month, as well as at the Christmas Festival, Christmas Eve, and Easter services.

KING'S MESSENGERS (grades 2-3)
Director: Barb Wieland
King's Messengers involve singers in grades 2 and 3.  This choir plays a larger role in worship, singing twice each month at the 9:45 a.m. worship, 2nd and 4th Sundays, as well as at the Christmas Festival, Christmas Eve, and Easter services. An outreach event (traveling to another church to sing) is a part of this choir's program of events.

CELEBRATION SINGERS (grades 4-5)
Director: Jennifer “Twink” Starr
Celebration Singers is open to children in grades 4 and 5. Unison and two-part anthems are part of the Celebration Singers experience. The choir sings at 8:30 a.m. worship, first and third Sundays as well as at the Christmas Festival, Christmas Eve, and Easter services. An outreach event (traveling to another church to sing) is a part of this choir's program of events.

ORFF ENSEMBLES

Director:  Meriah Chamberlain
Children experience music through playing instruments such as xylophones, glockenspiels, metallophones, and rhythm instruments. The Orff program for grades 2-7 runs alternately with our vocal choirs so children can participate in an Orff ensemble and sing in a choir. Each group will be scheduled to play in worship services throughout the year, as well as at festival services in the Sanctuary. On an occasional basis, each of the groups will play in the Great Hall. Our hope is that this schedule will encourage children to participate in choirs and Orff ensembles and attend Sunday School.

MIDDLE SCHOOL CHOIR (grades 6-8) 
Director: Jennifer “Twink” Starr
Students in grades 6-8 enjoy singing a variety of styles of music in this choir. The Middle School Choir sings the 9:45 a.m. worship, first and third Sundays (note - this is a change), as well as at the Christmas Festival, Christmas Eve, and Easter services. The Middle School Choir presents a musical in the spring, culminating in a tour. Choir members need to register for the 7 p.m. Wednesday Confirmation session.

SR. HIGH CHOIR (grades 9-12)
Director: Sue Gilsdorf
This choir is designed for active high school students who love to sing a variety of exciting music from contemporary to traditional. The Senior High Choir sings twice a month, usually second and fourth Sundays, at the 8:30 a.m. service and at festival services in the Sanctuary. Sounds Like Love, a weekend upper Midwest massed choir festival for high school choir, is an annual event each November. Highlights of the year also include an annual dessert theater performed in March and a tour in the spring.
