›› Music at Saint James

Music has long been a great strength here at St. James.  We have an abundance of talented people who are willing to dedicate their time and effort to make worship at St. James a richer more satisfying experience.  However, we are always in need of people who are willing to raise their voices to the Lord in song and if you are willing and able, the Chancel Choir would love to have you join them.  They try to make the practice sessions light and entertaining while at the same time learning the music to be sung for each Sunday's service.  

Those willing and able to participate in any capacity are encouraged to contact Hye Song Kim, Director of Music, through the church office at 215.743.1828.

›› Chancel Choir

Greetings from the Chancel Choir.  We extend an invitation to you and anyone you know who is interested in singing praises to the Lord.  If you enjoy singing and you enjoy being around people, you will enjoy becoming a member of the Chancel Choir.  Our Director of Music, Grace Chang, has picked some wonderful and inspiring music for us to sing and we enjoy every moment that we spend practicing for and ultimately singing these lovely songs at our Sunday service.  

Please don't be shy.  We have lots of fun and we help each other get the notes and the rhythm right.  Come give us a try.  If you are willing and able to participate in any musical capacity we encourage you to contact Hye Song Kim, Director of Music, through the church office at 215.743.1828.

›› Contemporary Band

Our Seraphim Band plays the music that is heard and loved so much today.  Congregation participation has been excellent.  Many of the musical pieces played have been heard extensively.  Other pieces are newer but no less effective. Since the format for the Contemporary service is more free form it is easy to incorporate the new songs as part of the service.  

If you enjoy contemporary Christian music and enjoy singing, this service will appeal to you.  If you would like to find out how you can become a part of the singers that participate on Sunday, you can inquire about this through the church office at 215.743.1828.  

 

›› Special Music

During special times of the year, we may include special music that complements the season.  From time to time, and for these special occasions, we may invite musicians who play the harp, the violin, trumpets.  This is done to supplement our own musical program and make it extra special.

During the Christmas Season we have our traditional Candlelight Service with the Chancel Choir performing musical pieces.  We also try to have some other groups from the Frankford Christian community come to our church for the Candlelight Service to play some of the music that is special to them during this season.  This approach has been most effective here at St. James because it showcases the diversity of cultures within the Frankford area.  

For the Easter season, we invite trumpeters to help us celebrate the risen Lord and to supplement our own music for the day.  

These and other special occasions showcase special music and are an integral part of St. James history.
