Worship & Music
As we hold on to our core Lutheran beliefs, we seek to prepare innovative and welcoming worship services that are filled with rich images, creating a fellowship of community, inviting participation to the fullest where those present can take with them an enriching, fulfilling experience of God's love and care.Praise & Rejoice Choir
The Praise and Rejoice Choir, under the direction of Arlene Brandt-Jenson, sings two to three times per month for worship services, usually sining four-part choral music. Practices are held in the Chapel Wednesday evenings at 7:30pm. Rehearsals begin with a brief devotional time. Although the choir works hard preparing selections to enhance the worship experience, rehearsals are also full of laughter and fun. Christmas parties and end-of-the-year get-togethers in May allow choir members and their spouses an opportunity to get to know each other better while sharing potluck goodies.
