Singing is a primary way in which the Word of God dwells in us individually and collectively in worship. When we lift up our collective “one voice” we are encouraging and teaching our fellow believers, we are proclaiming together that the Lord is King! This is one of the reasons why we as a church should seek to be invested in music ministry. It is the goal of the music ministry at Christ the King to continue to grow and develop as a community in breadth (numbers and strength) and in depth (ability and complexity) in order to teach, to encourage, and to enrich our community! However, in order for this to be accomplished the choir and the instrumental activities at Christ the King need to grow.
There are specific areas of the music ministry that require growth and strength in order to accomplish this goal: (1) the Sunday choir needs regular attending men and women to sing; (2) the music ministry needs musicians who play instruments at any peformance level to assist in accompanying the congregational singing of hymns and spiritual songs during worship; (3) all musical activities need the youth and young adults to be involved in singing and playing during worship. The future of our church is held in the hands of young, and the future of music at Christ the King is no different. If the music ministry is going to develop, children, college students, and young professional need to be involved.
Do you know how to play an instrument and/or sing but do not want to commit to weekly practice? We always have room for a solo or participation in Sunday worship on a one-time or limited basis. Are you interested in participating but worry about your musical abilities? Christ the King welcomes all members of its parish to participate, regardless of ability! Please contact the Director of Music, Thomas Kolbo, if you are interested in participating.
