Resurrection Music

Our Mission: To praise God through the gift of music, in its many forms and styles; additionally using music to inspire, teach and evangelize. "Resurrection Music" brings together all the people and groups that make music at LCR.

Resurrection Music helps us focus on what God has done - not on what we do. This is the message we bring to the community as we look for ways to evangelize through music. Resurrection Music also connects us to The Lutheran Church of the Resurrection and the ministry that we strive to do together. We've got some exciting things planned and we invite you to join us!

If you sing or play and instrument and have considered sharing your gifts in worship, please consider one of our musical groups:

• The Celebration Choir sings for the 8:30am service each week from September to mid-June. Rehearsals are Wednesday nights at 7:00pm (different in summer). All singers are welcome.
• The Summer Choir sings for the 8:30 service on designated Sundays June-August. Rehearsal is in the Sanctuary at 8:00am to learn a fun, easy song to share for the service that morning. All ages are welcome to join in!
• The Praise Team sings at the 11:00am service each week of the year. Rehearsals take place on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month beginning at 8:00pm. We are currently looking for singers and instrumentalists (especially guitarists and bass guitarists) to serve as substitutes/alternates to fill out the group each Sunday. Rehearsals are held every Wednesday at 8:00pm during the school year, and every other Wednesday during the summer months.
• Joyful Noise is the music program for Sunday School students Pre-K through grade 6. Scheduled at various times throughout the year, during the first 15 minutes of each Sunday School hour, the children learn songs of faith to share in worship, as well as music for the annual December Christmas Pageant. The 5th and 6th graders participate in a Rhythm Band to accompany the singing. We currently offer a Children’s Chime Choir as part of our Wednesday night programming from 7:00 to 8:00pm for children K-6th grade.
• The Alleluia Choir is for children in grades K-5, meeting on Wednesday nights from 6:30 to 7:00pm. Through singing new music and hymns of the faith, playing musical games, sharing Bible stories and fellowship, children will gain a deeper appreciation of worship and music of the church while growing in their faith. The children will sing in worship at various times throughout the program year. 5th graders are given a special leadership role.
• Joyful Noise Ringers includes anyone interested in ringing tone chimes to enhance worship. All ages are welcome; ring as a family!
• Instruments of Praise includes the many instrumentalists in our congregation who contribute to worship with their music. Contact Helen Phelps to share your musical gifts.
