Music holds a distinctive poistion in worship at Woodfords. A capital campaign in 1995 provided funding for the Sanctuary organ to undergo a major renovation and expansion in 1996, which was overseen by our Organist and Director of Music, and underscores the importance the congregation places on music. The music program includes our 47-voice Chancel Choir, which sings from September through June and performs a major classical work in concert each November, two children's choirs for grades K-12, and the Woodfords Ringers Handbell Choir. In November 2000, the Chancel Choir released a compact disk of Christmas music, and in May 2002, they released a second CD, this one called "I Was Glad." Amateur and professional instrumentalists from the congregation and community, including the Portland String Quartet and members of the Portland Symphony Orchestra, frequently participate in our worship services.
