Music is a powerful and integral part of our worship life. Sacred music, at its best, joins poetic and sacred texts with the artistic creativity of composers old and new, and draws us into the experience of prayer and praise. Whether sung by a choir or the entire congregation, the music we share expresses the whole range of human experience and faith, implants the Word deep within us, and challenges us to live lives of gratitude, justice, and grace.
