The message that pervades the Old and New testaments is to reach out to our neighbors and ourselves with God’s message of love peace and salvation.  Psalm 150 says, “Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord.  Hallelujah!”  These verses from Psalm 66 remind us that we have responsibility to Praise God’s name and make Him known:  “Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands; sing forth the honor of His name; make his praise glorious.” 

Music can touch and heal, reveal Jesus and the Holy Spirit and the Father’s message of Good News and eternal life.  On a typical Sunday at Trinity, our musical choices might include a song hymn from the 11^th century, music from the great Anglican Cathedral Choral tradition, a contemporary religious song written by composers of today, a song from Africa with percussion and sung in Zulu, a Black Gospel Hymn or even a hymn from Sweden!  We rejoice in the broad and rich offerings that we are able to provide and experience in our worship life at Trinity.

Music Commission

The Music Commission exists to provide resources to all the Music Ministry.  You don't have to sing, play and note, or attend a rehearsal to be of invaluable help.  Some of the opportunities available in this important area of Ministry are:

• Publicity
• Telephone Chain
• Recruiting
• Hospitality
• Flowers and Decorations

This group also includes representatives from the Choir Parent's steering Committee, Choir Officer representative, the music librarian, and the vestment officers.  In sort, the commission serves the many needs of the Music Department.  Our annual concert series is supported by the Music Commission as an ongoing outreach/evangelical project.  The objective is to build up and encourage God’s people through His gift of music. 

Choir Parents Steering Committee

This committee is composed of interested parents and parishioners who are willing to help further the children’s choir and their fellowship and learning.  We will have a few meetings a year to plan and enable choir activities and help with the ongoing nurturing of the children’s choirs.
