The Worship and Music Committee is charged with the oversight and maintenance of the worship life of the congregation. They make sure worship runs smoothly and all supporting duties are carried out in accordance with Lutheran beliefs and principles. This includes the Altar Guild who are responsible for setting up for communion, changing paraments, washing communion glasses, and organizing worship materials in the pews. Greeters meet worshippers as they enter the building, welcome them, and offer assistance as needed. The Usher Teams greet worshippers inside the church, distribute bulletins, collect offering and usher during communion. Acolytes, crucifers, lectors, communion assistants, Eucharistic ministers, and Audio-Visual Team also fall under the jurisdiction of the Worship and Music committee. The committee ensures the music is supportive of worship by interfacing with the Director of Music.
The Director of Music is responsible for the professional leadership of our vocal and instrumental ensembles which includes the scheduling of rehearsals and service participation for each organization. Children can sing with the Junior Choir from the time they have the ability to read English through eighth grade. They rehearse Thursday evenings at 6 o'clock. Senior Choir is for anyone ninth grade and older and rehearses Thursday evenings at 7 o'clock. Our Church Orchestra provides exhilarating music for our festival worship services, and our Bell Choir rings on an ad-hoc basis with events and rehearsals announced throughout the year. No auditions are required for any ensemble.
