Sunday School Singers

Grace Notes Choir

Pre-K and Kindergarten

We learn to use our voices as instruments, play percussion instruments, and move our bodies to music. We’ll begin to learn hymns and liturgy, and participate in worship 5 or 6 times during the year.   We rehearse in the Sunday School opening area Sunday mornings from 10:05-10:35.

Allegro Chimes
Sundays, 10:40-11:00

4^th grade and up

This group is all about teamwork!  Bring a friend, and make new ones!  Learn to read music and join in the fun of playing Hand Chimes.  Serve God and the congregation by playing in church about once a month.

This group assists the singing at area nursing homes when our pastors are leading worship. We go to Beaumont in Westborough once a month, and occasionally to the Lutheran Health Care Center of Worcester and Westborough Health Care Center. These caring singers also provide wonderful support when we have a funeral at Good Shepherd.
