“O God of rhyme and rhythm, of words and melody,
Creator, Lord and spirit who sings thru history,
Be with Your grateful people who celebrate today,
with instruments and voices,
to bring You praise always!”
Natalie Sleeth    1991
Riverside Presbyterian Church has a
long history of musical excellence.  RPC’s
3 -manual pipe organ dates from 1904.  
Handel’s Messiah is a Christmas tradition
featuring the Riverside Festival Chorus,
local soloists and orchestra.  The Chorus
has also sung Vivaldi’s Gloria, Rutter’s
Requiem, and Schubert’s Mass in G.  
The Chancel Choir meets weekly during
the school year and provides vocal
musical opportunities in styles ranging
from classical to contemporary.

 The Riverside Singers
children's choir meets on
Wednesdays from 4:15 - 4:45.  The
Riverside Ringers is a  handchime
group that meets each Wednesday
from 4:45 - 5:15.  Children who are
not members of RPC are welcome
to join either group.  The ages
range from 5 - 13 years.  The RPC
handbell choir meets from 6:30 -
7:30 each Wednesday. This
multi-age group is also open to
non-RPC members.  The group
currently has about 15 members
ranging in age from 8 years to the

meets each Wednesday from 7:30 -
9:00 pm.   Many members of all
choirs do not know how to read
notes.  Music education is a part of
the learning experience.  The RPC
Choirs offer a chance to become
more deeply involved in the worship
experience, share the joys of
Christian fellowship, and serve the
church and community.  For more
information, please contact Sally
Sloane, Minister of Music at
