Music / Choir Ministry
The church has a powerful choir: Euphonious Choir! We also have a Praise Team that sings more contemporary songs and encourages everyone to join in with worship! The church traditionally hosts an annual "Choral Festival". Guest renowned musicians are invited from Ghana to participate.
The choir presents individual selections as well as united choir anthems, during the worship service.There is no audition required to sing in the Euphonious Choir, but some voice training and music reading skill is common amongst the singers. For more information on joining the Euphonious Choir, please contact the Choirmaster Mr. James Varrick Armaah.
On Sunday the 5th of March 2017, the clarion call went out for the formation of the Church Choir. These are fifteen brothers and sisters that presented themselves to sing to the glory of God. Irene Frempong, Efua Frempong, Beatrice Fiase, Antoinette Nordor, Betty Osae, Akos Ohemeng, John Hodo, Gershon Sodzi, Smart Lokko, Peter Ashitey, Eben Glover Brown, Samuel Sapari, Akpene Kofi Fiase, Ian Porbley.
On Sunday the 7th of May 2017 the Mother Church, Woodhaven Presbyterian Church presented us with a set of green Choir robes, which we wore on that day, to the Glory of God. On Sunday May 28th, 2017 the choir convened its first official general meeting and the executives were elected.
