Music At Emanuel

Music is an essential part of Christian worship, and it has played an important role in the life of Emanuel.

We have an extremely talented pianist, Ms. Mingke Zhu, who is a PhD candidate in piano performance at Rutgers University. Mingke plays piano and organ for our Sunday worship and organizes mini concerts of her piano students to entertain the people of Emanuel.

We also organize special music, both vocal and instrumental performances, for church festival holidays.

Choir

Although we don’t have a choir at the moment, we look forward to being able to revive our choir in the future.

Hand Bell Choir

Emanuel is blessed with a three-octave set of Schulmerich handbells donated by longtime Emanuel members, Mrs. Louise Martz and her daughter, Donna, that were given in memory of husband and father Bill Martz and in honor of Emanuel members Gene and Peg Lens.

We don’t have a bell choir at the moment.
