The Primary/Junior choir at SPUMC is made up of boys and girls 1st - 6th grade.  They practice weekly, and sing in worship periodically throughout the year in all 3 services.  At times, based on participation year to year, the choir will divide into younger and older ensembles or all-boys and all-girls ensembles as well.  The main focus of this group is to get our young people excited about music and engaged in the process of participating in the worship experience.

SPUMC’s 9:30 Contemporary Services are led by two praise bands:  “Two or More” and “Lost and Found.”  Each band practices weekly and plays every other week.  If you sing or play guitar, bass, or drums we are always looking for new participants and substitute personnel.  The praise bands of SPUMC strive to lead a worship experience that is familiar to the congregants, while introducing new music and modern styles of worship to broaden the experience for everyone involved. 

The first praise band at SPUMC chose the name "Two of More"  because they truly believe the words Jesus spoke to his disciples long ago still apply today; for when we are together in worship, when we share our praise in music, truly He is among us!  Two or More leads worship on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month, and also leads on special occasions, Christmas Eve, Fall Festival, and other times throughout the year.

As the interest in Contemporary worship grew at SPUMC, so did the interest of those wishing to participate in worship.  A second praise team, "Lost and Found", was formed in the fall of 2008.  The praise team’s name was inspired by the words from John Newton’s hymn Amazing Grace, “I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see.”  Lost and Found leads worship on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month, and assists with special occasions and holidays as needed. 

If you have an interest in joining a Praise Band, email Jon Brewer or call 410-987-4700.

Throughout the year, there are numerous opportunities for individuals or groups musicians and singers at SPUMC.  Those who are unable to participate in a choir or praise band, (or even those that do participate) can still contribute to the worship experience through solos, duets, trios, and small ensembles put together for special services. 

If you are interested in providing special music for any of the services at SPUMC, please email Jon Brewer or call 410-987-4700.  We have opportunities for singers as well as pianists, guitarists, drummers, wind instruments, stringed instruments and melodic percussion.
