Music

Music in Worship

Our Music Director, Sandy Murray, organizes the music at both Sunday worship services, and music and drama for the children.

Praise Team: Sings contemporary music for the 8:30am service. Rehearsals are on Tuesdays at 7:30pm.

Adult Choir: Sings the anthem and leads the hymns at the 10:45am service. Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings at 7:30pm.

Children's Choir: The children’s choir is a time for children of all ages to learn about music and arts as they are

used in worship. The kids learn fun songs and scriptures, hymnology, basic music theory, stage presence, sign language and play together to gain confidence and friendships. Once a month, the children’s choir will present a musical offering and participate in both worship services. By integrating the children’s choir frequently in Sunday morning services, the children will gain confidence as worship leaders and be an active part of the NFUMC.

Handbells: Are meeting on Tuesdays at 6:30pm.

Share your talents! Nolensville First UMC is filled with offerings exciting new forms of worship! If you are interested in reading a monologue, sewing a tunic, singing a duet, teaching a dance, playing trumpet, painting a set, lighting candles, please email Sandy.

Upcoming Events

Wednesday Worship in 2013

Starting February 20, a weekly Wednesday night worship service will be held from 6-6:30pm. This service will be a time to sing, pray and reconnect as a church family during the middle of a busy week. Wednesday worship will continue throughout the year but will serve as a meeting ground to launch our spring Worship & Arts on Wednesdays (WOW).
