Music

Joyful Music at St. Edward's!

St. Edward's is rich with music.  From our Sunday 10:00 Rite II service with full adult choir to our "coffee house" guitar group coffee hour music once per month from 9 AM - 10 AM.

We hope that you enjoy the music at our services. Many individuals from St. Edward's devote a considerable amount of their free time throughout the year to enriching our fellowship and liturgies through hymnody, song, organ and other instruments.

St. Edward's is particularly gifted to have the services of Karen E. Waddill, Parish Instrumentalist & Director of Worship Music

Please take the time to enjoy their offerings, and with us, extend our sincere thanks for their ministry.

If you are interested in joining any of the music ministries, please contact Karen Waddill for adult choir inquiries.

Randy Westgate, Praise Band Ministry Leader

Randy Westgate grew up singing in the school chorus and playing trumpet in band. When he and his wife became leaders of the youth group 25 years ago at St. Edwards he took up guitar and discovered all of the great new "Christian Rock" music on our local radio station. Playing and singing these songs with the youth group lead to forming our St. Edward's Praise Band which has welcomed young and old to participate over the years. He also helps to lead worship at Celebrate Recovery LCBC Manheim and at chapel services at Water Street Rescue Mission.
