Music
Come lift up your voice (or your bell) in worship! Join us in the Adult Choir, Women’s Choir, or Handbell Choir as we lead traditional music at the 8:15 AM worship service. Recharge on Wednesday evenings (September - May) includes these worship music rehearsals:
Adult Choir is directed by Susan Charles Bentley (susan@crossview.net). This choir sings two or three times a month (usually on the 2nd, 4th, and 5th Sundays) and rehearses each Wednesday in the sanctuary from 7:15–8:15 PM. This summer, Dr. David Mennicke will join Cross View's staff as our new Director of Music and Choir Ministries.
Women’s Choir is directed by Rebecca Ghiselli (rebecca@crossview.net). The women sing once a month (usually on the 1st Sunday) and rehearse in the Choir Room from 5:45–6:15 PM on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Wednesdays.
Handbell Choir is directed by John Bentley (john@crossview.net). The Handbells play once a month (usually on the 3rd Sunday) and rehearse in the sanctuary each week from 6:15–7:15 PM.
