The children are taught invaluable musical, spiritual, and social lessons. There are choirs for children ages four through grade six. Rehearsals are Wednesdays at 5:30 PM. All choirs sing in our annual Hanging of the Green service in December and in the Graded Choirs Recognition service in the spring. Each individual choir may sing twice during the year in our morning worship service. ¨ Ensembles ¨ Vocal ensembles evolve out of our choral organizations. These groups offer an extra challenge and commitment to active choir members who desire service in this capacity. Our current such group is “Reflections,” an adult ensemble which is presently preparing a Christmas musical, “For Unto Y’all,” to be presented at our annual Christmas Festival on Sunday evening, December 17. Membership in “Reflections” is by invitation and/or audition and rehearsals are on Sundays at 7:00 PM. ¨ Handbells ¨ The FBC Handbell Ensemble is made up of eleven ringers playing a three octave set of Schulmerich Handbells. This ensemble plays annually during the Christmas on the River week in Demopolis, usually at one of the restored mansions for open house. They also play during several worship services in our own church during the year. Membership in this group is by invitation and/or audition, and rehearsals are on Mondays at 5:30 PM.
