MUSIC
Church Music
Yorkminster Presbyterian Church has a very active music ministry that offers a wide variety of opportunities in which you are invited to participate.
We believe church music is designed to accomplish two functions:
TO HONOR
AND
PRAISE GOD
TO PROVIDE OUTLETS FOR WORSHIP, ENCOURAGEMENT AND SPIRITUAL GROWTH TO THE CONGREGATION
Choirs & Ensembles
-
What should I expect on my first visit?We enlist all the traditional elements of worship—music, scripture, sermon, prayer—in an atmosphere that is inviting, welcoming and friendly. Our worship services are easy to follow, and we will never (no, never!) ask you to stand and identify yourself as a visitor. Our ushers will offer you a bulletin as you enter the sanctuary. The bulletin guides you through the service with clear direction as to when to stand, sit, what to say and when to sing. Most hymns are sung from The Presbyterian Hymnal in your pew, but sometimes we use songs from outside the hymnal, which will be printed in your bulletin.
-
When and where are services on Sunday mornings? How do I get there?Yorkminster is conveniently located on Route 17 in the Grafton area of York County. Our 10:30 a.m. traditional service takes place in the main sanctuary. Our goal is to provide a meaningful, stress-free worship experience for you. You’ll be greeted at the door upon arriving. Our greeters are there to assist you, provide directions, and warmly welcome you. They can point you in the direction of anything you need.
-
Where should I park?As you pull into our parking lot, you'll find ample parking—including plenty of handicapped spaces.
