Music Ministry
Music is one of the ways we, God's people, prepare to come into the throne room of our God and King. Singing and listening to music are some powerful ways God uses to cause hearts to become receptive to the Spirit, to soften the soul, to lift us up to His presence. Scripture is filled with examples of singing and music that are used in times of joy, battle, sadness, praise and worship.Click and sing! A new way to learn new music! Whoever would have "thunk" it?
At Grace Lutheran, we offer many varieties of music and opportunities for people to be a part of music, whether it's as a member in the congregation, in the choir, in the instrumental section or part of the leadership in worship. We also offer drama as an integral part of worship and as part of "extracurricular" activities for special occasions.
Please contact Judy Burhans with any questions you might have!
Here are some offerings from the Music Department at Grace:
NEW SONG TO LEARN!
On Sunday, November 14, the GIFT children will be singing and they'd like for us to sing along with them. The words for "We Bow Down" are in the 8:00 AM Bulletin for October 17. The music can be heard on YouTube at the link

Rehearsals are scheduled on Wednesday afternoons and Susan Sadler is the director of these fantastic kids.

Vocal Choirs Noteworthy: Join us as we begin our new season of music for worship and rejoicing! The adult choir will begin rehearsals for 2010-2011 on Sunday afternoon, September 12. The time in the most recent Grace Notes had us starting at 2:00 PM, but that has been changed to 1:00 PM. We meet in the Music Room on the Sanctuary side of the church property, and beginning in October, we will take a look at the Christmas cantata, "The First Noel," a beautiful video-enhanced worship service written by Randy Vader and Jay Rouse. Practice CD's and books are available. Check out a sample of the cantata here: The First Noel |
