CHANCEL CHOIR

     The Chancel Choir is our adult choir. Rehearsals are Thursday evenings from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the Choir Room of the Sanctuary. Please share the gift of voice that the Lord has given to you by coming to rehearsal on a Thursday evening and singing for our Lord on Sunday mornings!


CHILDREN'S CHOIR

     Our Children's Choir is for children ages 4 through 5th grade. If you are in this age group and would like to be a part of this choir, please call the Church Office.


GLORY BRASS

     Glory Brass is a church-based brass quintet committed to excellence in the performance of both classical and sacred music. All of the members of Glory Brass are trained musicians and all profess their faith in Jesus Christ. Our demonstration of faith, both individually and collectively, is to utilize our God-given talents through the performance of inspiring music.
     Since its inception in 1996, Glory Brass has performed at worship services, weddings, programs and community services in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Our group currently consists of George Terebush and Robert Hornyak on trumpets, Randy Hunt and Mark Tarby on euphonium, and Darla Hunt on tuba. We do not charge for our services. We are solely dependant on donations for our operating costs, such as music, transportation and mailings.
     The name "Glory Brass" is officially registered with the Middlesex County Clerk's Office since 2004.
Please check regularly for information and updates on our performances by visiting our church's homepage at http://avenelpresbyterianchurch.org.


JOYFUL RINGERS

     The Joyful Ringers is our hand bell choir. Our members range in age from nine years old through adults. Our total membership varies due to the fact that many of these talented musicians perform in other groups. We rehearse on Sunday afternoons from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. and use a three-octave set of Schulmerich hand bells for most of the pieces we play.
     If you are interested in joining this group, please contact Randy or Darla Hunt through the Church Office. No musical experience is necessary. If you have the desire, we can teach you. If you join us, we can guarantee you will receive joy and blessings you have to experience to believe.
