Worship Choir
Sean Haley,
Director
The music ministry at KLC has a long tradition. Beginning in 1920,
about the time when English was first spoken in worship services,
a choir was formed and called 'The Senior Choir'. Although the
faces have changed throughout the years, our choir remains a strong
and vibrant part of our congregational worship experience.
We sing anthems and psalms led by organ or piano, often with
additional instrumentalists including flute, clarinet, trombone,
guitar, bagpipes, and brass quartet. In addition to participation
during the worship service and special services throughout the
church year, we join with other KLC musicians to present our annual
Christmas Festival of Music. We also join with several community
church choirs for the annual Kent Church Choir Night, a 75-year-old
tradition.
New members who would like to 'make a joyful noise unto the Lord'
are always welcome. Rehearsals are on each Wednesday evening at 7:00
in the choir loft from September through June.
Acclamation Ringers
Jane Wilson, Director
Kent Lutheran Church has a Handbell program for adults and teens. We have five octaves of Malmark bells and
four octaves of Malmark
handchimes. We ring at the early service about once a month
plus concerts. The Acclamation Ringers is made up of
dedicated adults and high school students. We meet after
service on Sunday mornings for our practice. We participate
in the Greater Puget Sound Handbell Festival in May. We also
have quartets which ring at the first service. There is
always room for one more ringer to join with our
music-making. With enough interest, there is the possibility
of Handbells for children. Call the church for more
information.
