Worship Life
All Thy works with joy surround Thee,
Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays;
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
Center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flow’ry meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird, and flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in Thee.

The music department is always looking ahead – just like fashion designers :)! We always strive to make sure our current groups stay healthy and are also looking for new possibilities. So this fall we will be looking for new ringers, singers, and instrumentalists of all stripes (woodwind, brass, string, and percussion). Children’s choir begins at third grade, children’s bells at fifth grade, and all other groups are open to eighth grade through adults. It’s not too early to consider how you might fit into the mix. If you have questions or suggestions, please feel free to call or email Ruth.
Anybody for summer bells? In past years, we have offered an introductory summer bell program for students entering fifth through eighth grades. Bell-ringing is a great introduction to making music with a group and a good preparation for band and orchestra as well – besides being a terrific way to make new friends. If your student would be interested in a summer bell program, please call Ruth at 385-2183. In order to make the program viable, we need at least six ringers. Rehearsal time can be decided once we have a group; in the past, we’ve met on a weekday morning and then treated ourselves to lunch somewhere in Mankato.
"Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart"
Our Savior's Music Ministry exists, above all, to provide musicians with oportunities to express their faith in worship. We also strive to help each participant develop his/her musical skills to the glory of God. We do this through vocal choirs, handbell choirs and instrumental ensembles and opportunities for solos and small groups.
We are always happy to welcome new musicians into the music ministry. If you sing, ring, or play another instrument, we'd like to involve you!
Ruth is in the office Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, & Friday.
