“How lovely are Thy dwelling places, O Lord of hosts! My soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God…For a day in Thy courts is better than a thousand outside.” (a desire to be in God’s presence)
-Psalm 84:1-2,10
This is the heartbeat of the St. Andrews music ministry, where we seek to create excellent music and an atmosphere of worship.
Piano, guitar, bass, percussion, soloists and choir lead in worship on Sunday mornings with songs of lyrical depth and musical diversity.
Instrumentalists and soloists are welcome to audition. Choral members are welcome without an audition.
Rehearsal times are Wednesday nights from 6:30 to 7:45 for the instruments and 7:50 to 9:15 for singers.
Evening concerts are held at Christmas and Easter with extra singers invited to join in who can't make a year round commitment. These singers come for the first 30 minutes of Wednesday night rehearsals approximately 2 months before the events.
A Children's Musical is performed in the spring with a live band, choreograpy, props and stage lighting. Rehearsals begin in January.
