Music
“I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you, O Lord, I will make music.” Psalm 101:1
“Let the Word of God dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” Colossians 3:16 (ESV)
“Next to the Word of God, music deserves the highest praise. The gift of language combined with the gift of song was given to man that he should proclaim the Word of God through music.” Martin Luther
Lutherans love music! If you have been blessed with musical talent, whether singing or with an instrument, we welcome you to share your gift with the people of Faith. Contact the church. The focus for all musicians is on leading the people’s song (which is the definition of a cantor) rather than performance for the sake of “entertainment.” All levels of ability are encouraged to participate.
Faith Handbell Choir rehearses September through May on Thursday evenings from 6:00 to 7:00 PM. We ring three octaves of bells, and there is always a need for regular ringers and occasional substitutes. Being a member of a handbell choir is a very fun and rewarding experience. If you’ve never rung a handbell and are just curious about what is involved, please feel free to ask for a trial lesson.
