Chancel Choir

 Adult choir directed by Debbie Willeford. This choir rehearses on Wednesday evenings, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. and leads Worship at the 9:00 a.m. service.

Good Morning Choir

 The Good Morning Choir was newly organized in July 2007 for the AUMC 7:45 a.m. service. There were 21 singers present and choir director, Sydney Vogel, was intrigued, not only by their numbers, but by their musicianship. Rehearsals were held June through August. September 23rd was the first Sunday for them to contribute to the early service. The congregation seemed delighted to have their "own" choir and the choir seemed very dedicated to come at 7:15 a.m. to rehearse. The choir plans to sing once a month. Rehearsals are held following the service on selected dates for one hour. Rehearsal tapes are available upon request. Our purpose is to raise our voices in praise as we hopefully enhance the early service. New members are welcome at any time. You'll find that these singers are a terrific "bunch".

AUMC Orchestra

The Holiday Orchestra is directed by Pattie Nelson. This group rehearses in December and leads the Sunday night Candlelighting service.

Arvada Voices

Heidi Abel is the director of this group of 3rd-6th graders who love to have fun
and make music together. Arvada Voices rehearse on Thursdays from 5:30
to 6:30 p.m. in Room 209 at the church. Arvada Voices will sing at the 10:30 a.m.
worship service on the second Sunday of each month. Children are welcome to
join anytime during the school year.
