Renewal & Rejoicing
Music Ministry
“Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord,
praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.”(Psalm 96, vs 1-2)
​
The Music Ministry is very active in the community of faith at Pine Shores. The Chancel Choir provides the primary music for the Sunday morning worship service and other special services throughout the year. Other choirs regularly participate and enrich the worship services. All choirs also add music to church-wide activities and community events in Sarasota. All of our choirs are ready for new members, so please join us and “sing to the Lord a new song.”

Chancel Choir: Adults (high school and older) rehearse with our Director of Music. This choir provides music for the Sunday morning worship service and ecumenical services throughout the year and participates in seasonal concerts and festivals.
Handbells
Handbells have been an integral part of the music ministry at Pine Shores Presbyterian Church since 1968. On April 15, 2018 we held our “50 Years of Handbells” Celebration. Combined Handbell Choirs from Pine Shores premiered “Praise to the Lord the Almighty.” This arrangement was commissioned to celebrate the church’s 50 years of handbell music ministry.
