MUSIC, SONGS, AND HYMNS

The Worship Board, our Music Directors, and our musicians are looking for guidelines to shape our worship.  We would like to focus not just on the hymns songs we like, but on hymns and songs  that help in worship to touch our thoughts and attitudes.  In other words we are looking at hymns and songs that bring to closer communion with God through our worship.  As we desire to create a worship environment pleasing to God and strengthening to His people, we ask your input.
