Traditional Worship
11:00 a.m.
Our traditional worship features traditional hymns, liturgy, corporate prayers, choral music, children's chimes, and handbells. The music in this service features the organ and piano with special soloists and instrumentalists. Pastors wear traditional clergy robes and stoles. Congregation members feel free to dress as they wish, whether that be dresses and suits or more casual attire.
Denver UMC Chancel Choir is a warm, welcoming place where music is an integral part of traditional worship. There is a deep sense of community within our choir. Everyone in high school through adults are welcome to join the choir as we prepare worship music for the 11:00 a.m. Sunday services each week.
Rehearsals are on Wednesdays 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
We perform major works for Christmas, Maundy Thursday and Easter. We have soloists, ensembles and instrumentalists within the church as well. The Chancel Choir does a variety of styles with a lean toward more traditional worship. We are accompanied by various instruments: Organ, piano, solo instruments, handbells and occasionally a chamber orchestra.
We’d LOVE to have you join us!! We love God and we love singing for Him!!
Come share your talent as we praise the Lord in song.”
Our Handbell Choir consists of 9 - 12 adults. We ring in worship in the fall and spring semesters and take summers off. This is such a great group of dedicated adults that seem to laugh a LOT because it’s fun praising God all while getting to play these beautiful instruments.
