MUSIC MINISTRY

For Luther, music was a practical art closely tied to theology,

to be used in the praise of God and in the proclamation of the Gospel.

In keeping with Luther’s philosophy the

Mission of the Music Ministry at Grace is to:

Worship God

through liturgy, psalms,

choral and instrumental anthems,

and traditional and contemporary hymnody.

Rejoice

and strive to bring our very best

to worship each Sunday,

Serve

by sharing God’s love through music each Sunday and

carrying the message of God’s love through music

beyond the church walls.

Chancel Choir

The Ringers of Grace

The Ringers of Grace are a dedicated bunch of musicians who joyfully "ring as one" on three octaves of handbells. They perform about once a month at the 10:00 service and for special occasions. Rehearsals are every Sunday from 12:30 – 1:30 in the choir room in the education wing. New members are welcome to join or just visit at any time.

The Chancel Choir is a very dedicated, talented group of musicians of all ages who willingly and joyfully share their God given gifts as they lead the 10:00 a.m. worship with liturgy, hymns, and anthems on Sunday mornings and special services, offer special music at Easter and Christmas, and Christmas carol to shut-ins.

Annual Christmas Cantata

Each year our ensembles join with a chamber orchestra comprised of musicians from the local community to lead the congregation in a wonderful Christmas Cantata Worship Service.
