Our hand bell Choir is being recognized, and has begun to play for festival occasions. Our Hand bells were given to us as memorials to Alice Woodward, musician extraordinaire, who also donated her Bechstein Grand Piano to the church.

Music has a long tradition in the Lutheran church. Lutherans throughout the world employ music as a unifying element with expressive powers that can set moods for meaningful worship. Songs of praise, truth, faith, love and commitment can enhance the service through congregational singing, special music offerings and the liturgy. St. Peter the Fisherman follows this enduring tradition by promoting various music groups from inside and outside the church membership. In the late 1980's a Music Worship Committee was formed to guide and support support the developing choirs and music activities. A hand bell choir was developed during the 1990's and brass ensembles brought majesty to the days of celebration in the church year. |
