At Blue Ridge we truly believe that children are a blessing! Our family friendly emphasis is one of the reasons that we have so many children who love calling Blue Ridge home.
Your kids will love our age oriented Bible classes on Sunday morning, our AWANA program on Sunday Night, participating in one of our many activities, or being part of our Children's Choir.
Come and be a part of something that is not only changing lives, it is changing the future!
Children’s Choir rehearsals resume this Wednesday, January 7 from 7pm - 8pm. We will be working on a mini-musical entitled “Heaven’s Kitchen.” It’s a musical about praising God no matter the circumstances and includes four very fun songs–my kids can’t stop singing them! We will be using a CD and book to learn this musical. The book has been purchased by the church, but the CD will need to be purchased by each family in order to take one home. The CD is $5. You will only need 1 per family, and you get to keep the CD. There are actually 3 mini-musicals on this CD that we will be using in the coming months.

Auditions for a child’s solo available in the upcoming Christmas play will be held next Wednesday, November 5, from 6:30 - 7:00 p.m. in the choir room before regular choir rehearsal begins. The solo is in the song “Son of God”, and everyone who is interested in auditioning should have already received the written music to take home. Please contact Christy Shipe [clshipe at gmail.com] if you have any questions.
Here are some recordings of the BRBC Children’s Choir performance at church on October 19. The choir did a fantastic job! The song that the seniors sang, “Come, Christians, Join to Sing” was arranged for them by Christy Shipe (original lyrics: Christian H. Bateman; traditional Spanish melody; new lyrics & melody: Christy Shipe) and the accompaniment track was performed and recorded by Tom Gossage and Christy Shipe. Thanks to all who worked to make this song a unique performance at Blue Ridge Bible Church!
The song that the whole choir sang, “By Faith,” was written by Dan Whittemore, arranged by Joseph Linn, and published by Lillenas Publishing, Co. Special thanks to Katie Gicker for live accompaniment on piano!

The 2008-2009 choir season is shaping up to be a very exciting year! We already have three very special events lined up for the fall: a performance at the Emancipation Day Celebration on September 20, a mini-musical in October, and the Christmas Play put on by the church in honor of the Town of Purcellville’s Centennial celebration. In addition to these special events, we will continue to perform in the worship service. Because our first performance is just around the corner, choir rehearsals will begin on Wednesday, August 27 from 7:00 - 8:00 p.m
