Ezra Bible Sketch

Voices sing together


Music is an excellent element of worship at church


Singing, playing an instrument and listening to sacred music provide people of all ages important ways to 
  • worship Christ Jesus
  • reflect on the goodness of our Creator’s design
  • thank God for His mercy
  • become divinely connected to lyrics by the Holy Spirit’s inspiration
  • grow the gift of faith and celebrate Baptism
  • participate with a like-minded community
Even an unborn child in the womb can feel and hear his or her mother sing! Precious memorized hymn verses can be spoken for encouragement, sung by the blind and recalled in aging!

Responsive Worship

Especially after experiencing church closing and distance restrictions due to Covid-19, we repent of taking health and community for granted. Re-opened congregations have a new appreciation for the opportunity and freedom to sing responsively together with their pastors, confessing, praising and giving thanks to their merciful Lord. 

The liturgy or a liturgical style of divine worship service focuses on faithfulness, artistic excellence and integrity of the presentation God’s gifts, Scripture and music.

  1. I hadn't actually gone to your site before! Very interesting & encouraging! While not of the same "religion", I also believe that the Bible is the Word of God & the only truth...His words & miracles written & shared by prophets, apostles, disciples...& that we can learn from & trust them even over 2,000 years later. We need to get together! I'll be in touch early next week.
