Music for Adults
Atonement Contemporary Ensemble (A.C.E.)
The Atonement Contemporary Ensemble (ACE) leads two Sunday worship services every month at 11:00am. Rehearsals are from 9:00-10:00am on Saturdays immediately preceding the first and third Sundays of the month. Participation in this group is by audition.
Sanctuary Choir/Ensemble
This larger choir typically sings each week, September-May, at either the 8:30am or 11:00am worship service; rehearsals are Wednesday evenings from 7:00-8:30pm. If desired, a volunteer may opt to sing for a season or special service.
First Saturday Choir
This choir sings at worship the first Saturday of each month, and rehearses from 4:00-4:30pm on the first and third Saturdays.
Instrumentalists
Instrumentalists of all kinds play frequently in worship. Individuals, duets, and ensembles are welcome to participate.
Adoration Handbell Choir
Atonement has a five-octave set of handbells; our handbell ringers play approximately one Sunday per month, and rehearse Tuesday nights from 6:30-8:00pm, September-May.
Participants will find the ensemble the most rewarding if they are able to read music and have some experience playing an instrument.

Special Events
Liturgical Dancing
Dancing is another form of worship just like singing or playing an instrument. Through the use of rhythmical movements accompanied by sacred music, liturgical dancers add another level to the worship experience. Open to children through adults.
Visual Arts
Visual arts allow us to present the Gospel in a new way, and insights can often be gained by viewing familiar scriptures through a visual presentation.
Dramatic Arts
Dramas, dramatic monologues and skits allow us to present the Gospel in a different way, particularly during Advent and Lent midweek services. Insights can often be gained by viewing familiar scriptures through the prism of dramatic presentation.
