Worship Life
Rejoice, rejoice, take heart in the night,
Though dark the winter and cheerless,
The rising Sun shall crown you with light,
Be strong and loving and fearless.

Recitalists Wanted!
High-School and Adult Recitalists Wanted … for the Christmas Eve pre-service recital. This annual tradition has developed into a wonderfully rich blend of vocal and instrumental offerings from soloists, small groups, and large groups. If you are interested in singing or playing for recitals before the 5:00 or 7:00 service, or both, please contact Ruth no later than December 15.
Elementary-age and high-school recitalists are also needed for the recital which precedes the Children’s Christmas Service on Saturday, December 19. To volunteer for this recital, please contact Ruth by Saturday, December 12.
Christmas Choir and Christmas Bells
are great short-range opportunities to sing and/or ring for Christmas Eve. If you are interested in participating in either or both of these groups, please let Ruth know as soon as possible. Both small groups will rehearse on December 9, 16, and 23.
Resurrection
Resurrection is off the ground and gladly accepting new musicians! In December, we will meet after the 10:30 service on the 6th, the 13th, and the 20th. If contemporary Christian music is your thing, please consider singing with “Resurrection.” For more information, please contact Ruth.
Christus Choir
Christus Choir will meet on December 2, 9, and 16 at 12:30 in the chapel to prepare anthems for the afternoon Advent services. Singers who are available for daytime rehearsals and services are always welcome to join us.
"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.
