Mission Statement for Praise Chorus
September 22nd, 2006 at 12:25 pm (Choirs)
Music is found in every culture to relate history and express emotion. Experiencing different styles of singing is a way to connect with and expand our knowledge of others. During worship, through music, we are reminded how unique we are as individuals and how music unites us in our common bond of Christianity. Words from Bible passages are set to music to strengthen our understanding . According to one of our church’s founding catechisms, the first purpose of mankind is to praise and glorify God, as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The purpose of a Praise Chorus is to lead the Congregation in learning and singing contemporary worship music. Many of these contemporary praise selections are found in our hymnal. Our goal is to sing them for you and with you during worship, so that our worship experience might be enhanced and reach many generations.
“Use the talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no bird sang except the best.”
(Henry Van Dyke)
