Arcola United Methodist Church

Because of the willingness of members of the church to give much time and effort, we are able to enjoy a rich music program.  Our musical program currently features three choirs: senior choir, junior choir, and cherub choir which allow for the involvement of small children through experienced adults.  We also have talented musicians in our congregation who are able to add special meaning to services with instruments and beautiful vocal specials. Arcola UMC is always looking for new singers and musicians, so come and enjoy this part of our worship service and lift your voice in song with us.

Senior Choir (adults and older youth) is a marvelous group of singers under the direction of Ron Vyverberg. They rehearse on Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. (September through early June), and sing 3-4 Sundays per month.
