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

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.

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.
