Music is a vital part of being church together. While our ensembles take a break for a little while, here are some of the ways that we can use music to unite us:
- HYMNS – sing the tunes or read the words as a devotion or prayer alone or in your own small group at home.
- RECORDINGS – listen to the sounds of your favorite music when you need inspiration, peace, or joy.
- PRACTICE – use this extra time to improve your musical skills or learn more about making music in a new way.
- COMMUNITY – music is the universal language and participating in it brings us all closer together even in this uncertain time.
Contact Clair if you would be interested in knowing more about participating in upcoming virtual music opportunities at church.
