CHOIRS – To Create Something Beautiful for God
Each week during the school year approximately one hundred singers of
all ages and levels of ability and experience come together for the express
purpose of creating something beautiful for God, performing first and
foremost for an audience of one. With the exception of an occasional concert,
all our performances of sacred choral music are offered within the context
of the liturgy of the church, and have as their purpose the glorification
of God and the eternal edification of all those who worship here. The
choir program is intended to make it possible for all who participate
to fulfill one of our most deeply rooted human needs: to glorify God and
in so doing be drawn ever more deeply into the knowledge and love of him.
Leading our congregations in worship is an important task and our choristers
take it seriously. The pursuit of a high and consistent standard of excellence
in church music requires discipline and constant hard work, and our choristers
gladly (most of the time!) commit themselves to this challenge. Participation
in the choirs serves many other purposes: association with a small, intentional
Christian community within a larger parish; fun and fellowship on a regular
and dependable basis; learning great music and being deepened as a person
by it; developing an “ear” for music; learning musical skills
and cultivating the voice; giving back to others something uniquely beautiful
and beneficial to their souls; forming life-long habits of personal responsibility
and shared commitment to a larger purpose.
