Music is an integral part of our worship at Emanuel each Sunday.  The liturgy, hymns and anthems inspire deeper meaning of the Word and hopefully, in our faith.

The choir at Emanuel provides enthusiastic leadership of music in worship, particularly in the singing of hymns and liturgy.  While the singing of anthems does require several weeks of rehearsal, singing hymns each Sunday is a communal effort, just as gathering at the altar.
 

On Wednesday nights the choir practices the anthems in a community that supports hard work and laughter.  We learn how to improve our vocal quality, how to read music, and what inspires us in the sacred music we sing.

Being in the choir does require commitment, in that the anthem must be properly prepared.  If so, our community of singers and listeners will hear the Word.  That is the essence of sacred music, that the Word may be sung and heard.  In turn, our faith as a community may be transformed.
