From the Director of
Music
I
keep saying that music is integral to worship. But have you ever wondered why I
say it? I think that it unifies those gathered to worship, highlights
significant parts of the liturgy, and helps to set the tone for each worship
service. The members of the singing and ringing choirs are taught these things
and are reminded of them continually. But we have all of those thoughts and more
at our church. I think we have lots of members and friends that understand and
appreciate what music does in worship. The skills and
talents of these musicians, choirs, and instrumentalists are especially valued
by our Church. In addition, some members of the community have special gifts for
leading the congregation in musical praise and thanksgiving. Because the roles
of the choirs and others are appreciated within our community, we say thank you
for your acts of appreciation as we strive through music to proclaim God.
Several of our choir members gathered Sunday afternoon and went to Lafayette
Nursing and Rehabilitation Center to lead a service of music and devotion. It
was very gratifying to see people who love God and want to express it through
singing and to have people that want to be leaders and participants in mission.
The members of the choir will be doing this on the 3rd Sunday afternoon of each
month. If you would like to join us, we go to the nursing home at 3:00 p.m. The
next time we will go is March 16.
