                                      What constitutes the music ministry of the church? Most people  would say, “Why, the choir of course, and the organist or the pianist.” And that is correct, as far as it goes. But we believe there is more to it than that. Every member of the congregation who opens a hymnal and sings the hymns is also part of our music ministry. Even if you don't sing, but simply read the words as  they are being sung by others, you are still a part of worshiping God through music. And children, when they sing Christmas carols in December, or songs they  learn in Vacation Bible School in the summer, are a wonderful part of the overall music ministry of the church. It doesn't matter if you think you have a  “good” voice or not; if you always sing from your heart, for the glory of God, he will bless you for it! Be an active participant in the music ministry of our  church! 

                                      “Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the lands!  Serve the Lord with  gladness!  Come into His presence with singing!”   --Psalms 100:1-2
