Music at Rivera United Church of Christ
Psalms 100:1-2 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with
gladness and come before God’s presence with singing!
Music is a gift from God, and each of us offers our music to God in thanksgiving and
praise. Music speaks to the soul and uplifts the spirit. It deepens our worship experience
and helps us express ours thanks, joy and praise.
Join Us in Song at Rivera United Church of Christ!
The musical life of Riviera United Church of Christ is vibrant and varied! We love to sing,
play and listen to great music. This congregation is blessed with many fine musicians
willing to share their gifts with others. Our traditional service includes hymns, choral
offerings presented by our chancel choir, and special instrumental or vocal solo
meditations throughout the church year. Our contemporary service offers praise band
music lead by our amazing music director, Shelle Waller, and accompanied by our equally
amazing volunteer band members on voice, piano, drums, and guitar
Chancel Choir
The chancel choir welcomes all adult voices singing soprano, alto, tenor or bass, and is
under the leadership of our beloved music director, Shelle Waller. The choir sings a
variety of music and provides an anthem during the traditional service each Sunday from
September through May. Anyone interested in joining is invited to attend. No experience
is necessary. The only requirements are a love of singing and a willingness to commit
the necessary time. Both of our pastors often sing in the choir! Practice is held
Wednesday evenings from 7:00 PM to approximately 8:30 PM. The choir meets at 8:30
AM on Sunday mornings for a warm-up rehearsal prior to the 9:00 AM service in which
they serve. Special choral offerings may be performed during Advent, Christmas, Lent,
Easter and other special services throughout the year. In preparation for larger choral
works, the Chancel Choir may invite extra singers to form the Cantata Choir to perform a
special Sunday worship cantata often including orchestral accompaniment.
Praise Band
The praise band provides music for the contemporary service 52 weeks per year.
Currently the band consists of two vocalists, pianist, guitarist and percussionist. The
band plays an assortment of contemporary Christian songs, praise choruses and some
secular songs. Anyone interested in joining the praise band should contact the music
director, Shelle Waller, and arrange an audition. Practice is held Sunday afternoons from
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM. The praise band meets Sundays from 10:15 AM – 10:45 AM for a
warm-up rehearsal prior to the 11:00 AM service in which they serve.
