Children's Choir
The Emmanuel Children’s Choir is a wonderful place for children to contribute as worship leaders while learning music, language and Bible stories, gaining skills by working together as a team, and having fun! The choir also function as youth fellowship opportunities for the youngest of our children that, we hope, lead to enduring friendships. The leadership of our children is greatly valued by the congregation at Emmanuel.

The CHILDREN’S CHOIR (age 4 - 5th grade) rehearses on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 - 7:00 pm after the fellowship dinner. They sing during the 9:30 am worship service at least once a month. The children’s choir learns songs both by rote and by reading music, and the singers often learn motions or sign language to go along with the lyrics. Hand chimes, barred instruments, and other percussion instruments are also played by the choir members. Music education and Bible stories are reinforced by games, music, and shared discussion.

Our Holtkamp Organ
|
|
Emmanuel’s Holtkamp Organ, one of our treasures, was designed by Walter Holtkamp, Jr. It was built and installed in 1964 by the Holtkamp Organ Company of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally consisting of 37 ranks, a total of 1956 pipes, the Emmanuel organ was dedicated the following year in 1965. Through the generous contributions from the parish to the Music Preservation Fund, it was repaired and updated in 1997. The organ today has been expanded to 42 ranks of pipes, which includes 5 ranks comprising the antiphonal division. Holtkamp Organ Specifications. (Click here for updated specifications)
