Rivertown United Reformed Church

RIVERTOWN MUSIC GROUP

It is about 15 years since the music group came into being, birthed from a desire by a handful of people who loved to sing and worship God through song. Our aim is to learn new songs/hymns, both traditional and contemporary, in order to introduce and teach them to the congregation.

This group is small numerically, and has never exceeded ten members. At present seven people faithfully attend weekly practices. In the absence of a pianist the music is produced by using a CD Rom and a keyboard, and we thank God for modern technology. Rivertown also has a copyright licence and this enables us to access new songs from a wide range of sources to enhance our worship.

The role of the group over the years has increased. We not only introduce new songs/hymns to the congregation but also participate by sometimes singing:- - As people are entering church. - At the start of the service to help people prepare for worship. - During a time of prayer.
