Sanctuary Choir
Wednesdays, 6:45 pm to 8:00 pm
Led by Debi Prather, Director of Music, and Kurt Schakel, Music Associate.
We serve at two regular services each month, and for special festival days as necessary. Our
music selections are always inspired by the themes and texts of each worship service. We
always strive to enrich our shared worship together, and to proclaim the Word of God. We
believe in developing an appreciation for all styles of choral music, and that our worship
is enhanced by singing and listening to God's Word in song.
Anyone is welcome to join the Sanctuary Choir! In rehearsals we learn Psalms, anthems, and
any other choral pieces planned for upcoming services. We also share in a devotional and
prayers. We value this regular time together as a very special small group experience, with
fellowship among friends both old and new, and supporting each other.
Interested? Just come to a rehearsal or contact Debi

Celebration Bells
Thursdays, 6:15 pm to 8:00 pm - Childcare Provided
Led by Kim Handrock, Director of Bells
We perform on the 4th Sunday of the month, for both morning services. Our mission is to
enhance worship through our music, to grow spiritually, and to support and encourage each
other as a small group. If you would like to join us, you need to be in at least 8th grade
and able to count to 4. We will teach you everything else that you need to know! We welcome
both new and experienced ringers!
Want to ring with us? Just come to a rehearsal or contact Kim

Laudamus
Rehearsals are announced.
Led by Kurt Schakel, Music Associate
Laudamus accompanies the Janzow liturgy setting each month, as an alternative to settings from
the Evangelical Lutheran Worship hymnal. We normally include guitar, flute, piano, and assorted
percussion. We also accompany hymns and perform preludes, postludes, and offertory pieces for services.
Just contact Kurt to let him know you'd like to play along
(kurtv@zionsvillelutheran.org)!
Consort
Rehearsals are announced.
Led by Kurt Schakel, Music Associate
For special services at various times of the year, we invite soloists and ensembles to share their
very special gifts with us in our worship. We have members that play all sorts of instruments,
from strings, to brass, to woodwinds. Our Consort sometimes accompanies our Sanctuary Choir, the
Kantorei, or our Celebration Bells, and sometimes accompanies the organ or piano for other pieces.
If you play any sort of instrument, just contact Kurt Schakel, our Music Associate, let him know
which instrument(s) you play, and he can notify you of any upcoming opportunities that may interest you.
