"I truly desire that all Christians would love and regard as worthy the lovely gift of music, which is a precious, worthy, and costly treasure given … by God." - Martin Luther. As Lutherans, we are thankful for the many musicians of all ages that offer this gift through choirs and ensembles that lift hearts, teach the faith, and draw the congregation into contemplation and praise. Whether you are a seasoned singer or simply love to make a joyful noise, there is a place for you, and new friends are always welcome!
