Members work hard to learn new songs for a service once every month. Their songs are often accompanied by rhythm instruments or hand bells. They also make pictures which illustrate their music, or the seasons of the Church year.

Members sing in church most Sundays. By rehearsing the hymns and responses, they become familiar with a rich variety of Church music, with the order of service, and with the seasons of the liturgical year. They also learn to become worship leaders. Once a month this choir sings an anthem, by itself, or with the Adult Choir. Members also enjoy preparing musical plays.
 

The role of the Adult Choir is to lead the musical worship of the congregation. Anthems are chosen to represent a wide variety of styles and periods, and to vary in difficulty so that both beginners and experienced singers are comfortable. The choir's music is meant to inspire the congregation and enlarge on the themes of worship through musical expression.

The Adult Choir also values its role as a caring, close community within the larger Church family. New members are always welcome.

Instrumentalists are also welcome to join in the ministry of music. From time to time, musicians who play string or wind instruments, drums, guitar, organ or piano, enhance Kanata United Church's worship. They have formed a small ensembles and even full orchestras. For more information about one of the instrumental groups speak to Sally Duke or call the Church Office.
