Music Ministries

Chancel Choir

The Dyer First UMC Chancel Choir strives to enrich worship with a blend of traditional and contemporary music. The piano, pipe organ, recordings, brass, reed, and stringed instruments have been used, and we look forward to any instrument that makes a joyful noise. Most Sundays a solo and choir special are presented. You are encouraged to help our choir grow, and we have a lot of fun! Call the church office, and ask for Mary Nelle. 

Handbells

Our children often prepare a special handbell hymn. The handbell choir includes a variety of ages. It is indeed a joyful noise with a whole lot of shaking going on!
