Notes from the Music Director

Our music program is led by our Minister of Music, Grayce Armstrong, a Sacred Music graduate of Westminster Choir College.

DeBows UMC is blessed with talented people who love to praise God. We pray for each other and give back to the Lord the blessings we’ve received. We welcome newcomers to join our music ministry and share and grow their talent for God’s glory.

Chime Choir — Rehearses Sunday morning 8:30 to 8:45 AM and rings the introit to worship on Sunday morning (except on Revival Sunday). New members are always welcome. Ability to sight read music and prior experience not necessary. Ability to be present and have fun very important! — Thank you, Jackson UMC, for blessing DeBows with a gift of a three-octave set of Malmark tone chimes and making our chime choir ministry possible!!!

Band — Rehearses Tuesday nights at 7:00 PM and plays a five-song set once a month for Revival Sunday, usually the last Sunday of the month. Check email and church calendar for exceptions. All instruments welcome.

Composers — Some of the music presented during worship may be original compositions created by members of our music ministry. If you have original music you would like to share with us, or if you would like to sing and premier new music, please contact Grayce by email.

Choir — Has been on hiatus due to the pandemic. If you are interested in singing solos, duets, barbershop, or resuming choir in any way please contact Grayce by email.  

For more information, please Send Email to the Music Director.
