Early Morning Worship
Handbell Choir
Do you enjoy music and having fun with others? Our newly formed handbell choir is looking for a few more ringers to join the team! No musical training or handbell experience is needed—just a willingness to learn and be part of a joyful, musical group. This group presents music for the 11:00 am Worship Service several times a year and rehearses on Wednesdays 6:00-6:45 pm September - May.

Praise Team
If you enjoy contemporary praise and worship music, either by singing or playing an instrument, we would love to have you be a part of the Praise Team for our contemporary worship service, called Connect. Connect meets each Sunday at 9:00 am in our Ministry Center, and the Praise Team rehearses on Wednesdays from 6:00 - 7:00 pm. If you have questions, please contact Rev. Jennifer Rogers at rogersj@clemmonsumc.org.
Small Ensembles
Vocal Ensembles (men’s quartet, women’s ensemble, mixed small ensemble) Rehearsals are as needed.
Instrumental Ensembles – Play an instrument? If you are willing to share your talent, we will help you find a way. Small instrumental ensembles are utilized in worship as new talents are discovered. Rehearsals are as needed.
