MUSIC MINISTRY
Music at Harvest
Harvest’s music ministry is under the direction of Cherylene Sedletzeck.
We invite you to share your musical gifts and talents as we give praise and glory to God. Come into His presence with singing, ringing, and playing instruments by becoming a member of one of our choirs or ensembles. We welcome all who desire to serve Him with gladness and make a joyful noise unto Him!
A Message from the Director
Martin Luther once said, “Next to the Word of God, music deserves the highest praise. The gift of language combined with the gift of song was given to man that he should proclaim the Word of God through Music.”
There is something very special about joining our voices and instruments together to praise God in fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Together, we are drawn into His presence as we worship Him in song. Together, we declare through song that our God is worthy of praise! As with many of the Psalms, Psalm 95:1,2 calls us to come into His presence with songs of praise.
“Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!”
“I will sing of the Lord’s great love forever!” – Psalm 89:1
“ I will sing of the steadfast love of the Lord, forever.” ~ Psalm 89:1
The Harvest Worship Choir has a rich history in the life of our church. To sing of God’s love and faithfulness is the calling of our choir – to glorify Him whom we serve.
The Worship Choir sings in Sunday morning worship services providing special music, anthems, and songs of praise. The Worship Choir presents a Christmas Concert in December, and a choral Tenebrae service on Good Friday.
The Worship Choir is open to any adult, and we gladly welcome new members all year long. Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings in the sanctuary from 7:30 -8:45 pm. Please contact cherylene@harvestpca.church for more information.
“I will RING of the Lord’s great love forever!” – Psalm 89:1
The Harvest Bell Choir was started in 2006 and is directed by Susie Szymanski. To RING of God’s glory is the calling of the Bell Choir. The Bells provide special music, anthems and songs of praise for Sunday worship and Christmas Eve services. Many forms of musical styles are chosen as the repertoire for the bell choir.
Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings in the church lobby starting at 6:30 p.m. to 7:15 p.m.
Rehearsals: September – May

“Worship the Lord with gladness; Come before Him with joyful songs.” (Psalm 100:2)
What a blessing to hear the rising generation join their hearts and voices to sing praises to God!
The Harvest Youth Ensemble is open to all 6th through 12th grade students. We rehearse each Sunday evening before the SoBe Youth Group begins. The Youth Ensemble shares their music in worship services several times throughout the year.
We would love to have new members join us! Please contact cherylene@harvestpca.church for more information.
From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise…” ~ Psalm 8:2
What a joy to hear our children praising God in song!
The Children’s Choir is open to all children in kindergarten through 5th grade. We rehearse each Wednesday evening from 6:00 – 6:40 pm during the school year. The Children’s Choir presents songs of praise in worship services several times throughout the year. Our Wednesday rehearsals are filled with fun as we learn scripture songs and action songs as well as new songs to share with the congregation.
Biblical truths and scripture verses set to music are powerful tools for planting truths about God in the hearts of our children. The songs our children sing also give them an avenue for expressing their heartfelt praise to God.
We would love to have your child join us! Please contact cherylene@harvestpca.church for more information.
I will sing and make music to the Lord. Psalm 27:6
