News from our Music Team

Our Music Team leads about half of our hymns each Sunday in worship. They are growing and developing as an integral part of our worship and have been teaching us some new hymns over the past few months that we are excited to add to our hymnody. On March 15th, the Music Team helped to lead worship at our monthly ministry at the Brother Bryan mission. They do this once a quarter. On May 2nd they will be supplying the music for one of our member's wedding. We thank you for your servant's hearts and your hard work in order to make our worship music more diversified, edifying and pleasing to the Lord.

Choir Updates for Spring

This spring our children's choirs have been learning about solfege and singing a beautiful tone. We have also been learning 2 songs for worship and a hymn for Easter. We learned a song about God's creation called, "God Made It So" and sang it for our parents this past Sunday night. We will be singing the choral introit for Palm Sunday morning, celebrating Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem with "Little Grey Donkey", accompanied by sand blocks, wood block, flute and piano.

Our adult choir has also been preparing for our Lenten season with music for Palm Sunday, a special Good Friday communion service and our Easter celebration which will conclude with the "Hallelujah Chorus" accompanied by brass, strings and continuo.

Both choirs have been working hard to make our musical ministry truly a blessing to God's people and a glorifying worship of our Lord.
