Music Ministry
Praise the LORD! Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise
him in his mighty heavens!
Praise him for his mighty deeds;
praise him according
to his excellent greatness!
Praise him with trumpet sound;
praise
him with lute and harp!
Praise him with tambourine and dance;
praise him with
strings and pipe!
Praise him with sounding cymbals;
praise him with loud clashing
cymbals!
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!
(Psalm
150)
The Music
Ministry of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church seeks to bring talented musicians in the congregation together to assist in leading
the worship services of the church. We strive to worship God according to His word, and recognize that
the focus of all music used in the worship services is toward God, “who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ.“ (1 Corinthians 15:57)
