Worship
What is worship? Is it: Music, singing, scripture, prayer, a lifestyle?
The answer is Yes!
Music in Worship
St. Augustine extols the awesome power of music in worship in his autobiographical Confessions, written c. A.D. 400:
I feel that when the sacred words are chanted well, our souls are moved and are more religiously and with a warmer devotion kindled to piety than if they are not so sung. All the diverse emotions of our spirit have their various modes in voice and chant appropriate in each case, and are stirred by inner kinship.
We believe this is the very reason for, and purpose of music in worship - to learn to experience, express, and freely communicate the full range of human emotion in a totally uninhibited manner for the glory of God. In so doing, we can more fully develop the human spirit and our relationship with Him.
Come and worship with us on Sunday mornings at our Traditional service at 9:15 am and our Contemporary Service at 11:00 am
