Messiah's worship life is enhanced by the vocal and instrumental gifts of many people through our adult and youth choirs, children’s choirs, bell choirs, and instrument ensembles, adding to the beauty and enjoyment of worship each week. Worship at Messiah is enjoyed in many styles and formats, from traditional Lutheran liturgy and hymns through contemporary songs.
We know that people respond in positive ways to many different styles of music, and we work to incorporate those styles in our worship.
Music Camp- Messiah's 17th annual Music Camp will be held the week of June 7 - 11. The original musical "Lord, Use Me" will be presented at both services on June 13. The Music Camp is 9 am - 4 pm Monday through Friday and the cost is $75 per child. Each day of the camp, children will enjoy music, drama, arts & crafts, recreation and a snack. In the afternoon an activity (roller skating, bowling, swimming, etc.) is scheduled. Registration forms available online, at the Welcome Center or call the Church Office at 721-0041. For further information, please contact Lois Graff.
Instrumentalists and Solos
Instrumentalists of all kinds and abilities are welcome to share their gifts with the congregation in solo, ensemble and large group settings. Contact Lois Graff to learn how you can use your instrument in God’s praise!
Special Music Offerings - Individuals, duets, small groups and other opportunities are always available for those who wish to share their gifts in worship!
Sight and Sound Team - Singers or non-singers can help our music ministers by setting up and taking down equipment used for our presentations, including sound technicians. This team would help with contemporary services and special services including cantatas and children’s presentations.
Dinner Theater- A night of fellowship, fun, laughter, music...and always a surprise or two! Click here for photos and more information.
