The Music Ministry at Wapping Community Church is a vital part of the total ministry. There are opportunities for young, old, and in between. Those who embrace this ministry are wonderful, loving people, and many life long friendships are formed with the members of these groups. You will have the opportunity to sing, ring, and dance, play in a string ensemble, or play or sing a solo, duet, etc. If you are more interested in behind the scenes opportunities, we have membership in the Music Committee, ushering for our performances, publicity, kitchen help, and clean up for our Parish Performance Series. For information on any of our choirs, or how you can become part of our wonderful ministry, please contact Michael Crowley, Director of Music Ministry at (860) 644-0833, ext.14, or mcrowley2@gmail.com

The Chancel Choir

We are so blessed to have our own resident bagpiper, Chuck Murdoch. It is a thrill beyond measure to have the choirs process into church on Christmas Sunday to the hauntingly beautiful sounds of the bagpipes.

Handbell Choir
Our Handbell Choir, the "Chancel Bells," also participates in worship on  an occasional basis and is under the able leadership of  Paul Oates. The Chancel Bells schedule their meetings as needed in order to prepare for participating in worship. Please see the bulletin for upcoming rehearsals, and then come and "Ring them Bells!"

Children's Choir

Sacred Dance group
We also have a Sacred Dance group that performs for during worship occasionally during the year. The dancers are in grades two through high school. 

The Elliott String Ensemble The Elliott String Ensemble was established by WCC Musician Emeritus, Russell Elliott, to promote good ensemble playing of Classical music.  The string players present the music at the 6:00 pm Christmas Eve Service.  The group is open to string playing youth in grades 7 and above.
