Music Notes From Thom
The Music Ministry welcomes all levels of musicianship and commitment. Please consider using your gifts through one of the many choirs and ensembles.
Here are the top three reasons why people don't participate in the music ministry.
- "I can't commit to a weekly practice." True, most groups have a weekly rehearsal, but as a volunteer you give what time you are able.
- "I don't read music." This ministry is made up of parishioners with all levels of ability. Some have years of private lessons and experience and some are learning about music for the first time.
- "You have enough people already." There is no limit to the size of this ministry. In fact, the bigger, the better! In addition to meeting a great group of people, you will have one of the best seats in the house on Sundays!
Whatever reasons have been keeping you from your parish music ministry, now is the time to join. Please review the following opportunities and choose one for you. All you need is a desire and commitment to praise God through music. If you have that calling, we will provide the rest. Come discover the spirituality, excitement and joy in this very unique form of worship.
