Music, Arts & Drama

First Baptist has an active music, arts and drama ministry. On this page, you will find current articles on our many music, arts and drama activities. However, we do have pages devoted to each of these groups where you can find out information about each specific ministry:

Notes from the Choir Loft

Yes, the calendar says it is September. School begins, fall is right around the corner, new programs begin on TV and let’s get right down to it, IT IS TIME FOR CHOIRS TO BEGIN! Chancel Choir rehearses from 7 to 8 PM as a part of our Wednesday evening activities. This is an hour earlier than last year! Hopefully, some of the new changes will encourage some new participants in the music programs. The children will continue to meet on Sunday mornings during the service and Inspirations will meet at varied times. The choir & praise group will begin on Wednesday, September 8th. If you have any questions about any of the groups, please see Sylvia, Joanna or Betsy. We are all hopeful that we have returning starters and some new “walk-ons”. God loves a cheerful musician, vocal or instrumental. Help us make joyful sounds!!! Sylvia

Bagels & Bobby Sox Thank You's

Bagels & Bobby Sox couldn't have happened without the support of many. The list is long: our God and Father Who was with us every step of the way, adults who took a lot of time away from their families, parents who committed to bringing their children and youth for rehearsals and performances, those who prepared and served food, set designers, set builders, set painters, our technical "sound and lights" crew, those who collected and prepared props, the chaperones who helped each Friday, the audiences who by their attendance supported the youth summer "Mission to Appalachia" and of course the actors and actresses who presented the production on five wonderful nights. Thank you all you did to make this such a successful ministry!

A Look Back - Berry Bury's Through the Years

It all started with our first self-written production back in 2002. "Sea Loves Me Naut" featured a family named the Cushenberry's. Ever since that show, we have managed to have some form of "Berry" in almost every production (we even have our own "Berry" in Barry). In Bagels and Bobby Sox, premiering in 2010, Marlene Marshenbury joins a long list of Berry Bury's. Here's a look back at the Berry Bury's through the years:
