Children's & Youth Music Ministries

A new vision of music ministry with the children (ages 6-10) and youth (ages 10-14) of Saint Barnabas has begun with the calling of Norma Jean Luckey as Director of Children’s & Youth Music Ministries. Mrs. Luckey, who led the UL Children’s Chorus for twenty years, offers the opportunity to glorify God through music by using our children’s voices and instrumental musical talents together. Each rehearsal is packed full of fun and games while creating music for worship. If your child has an instrument, please bring it along to the Thursday afternoon rehearsals (4:30-5:30p, for Children; 5:30-6:30p, for Youth). A Study Hall has been added from 4:30-6:30p, so that while one child is in rehearsal, siblings who attend the other group rehearsal may participate in study hall. This way parents have to make only one trip.

The Children’s & Youth Music Ministries will occasionally perform for our local retirement homes as an outreach ministry of the church. Bringing with her American-adapted Kodaly teaching techniques, Mrs. Luckey shapes our Children’s & Youth Music Ministries so that the experience is fun, with an intertwining thread of group community and Christian sharing of talents—every child can contribute, and our young people will only perform when they are confident with the music.
