Gettysburg Presbyterian Church - Ministries

The Music Program of the Gettysburg Presbyterian Church

In addition to the choirs, we have instrumental and solo opportunities for those who are interested. We currently have opportunities for a brass quartet, a male quartet, instrumental soloists who are needed for anthem and hymn accompaniments, piano/organ duets and handbell duet/trio/quartet. God has given us many talents. It is our responsibility to share those talents with our congregation. If you would like to use your talents at Gettysburg Presbyterian Church, please contact me. I can be reached at 334.1235 (church), 359.7623 (home) or bbwareham@embarqmail.com I look forward to hearing from you!
