About this site

Music is an important part of Christian worship. As music leaders we select and prepare songs for worship every week. For each song we should be prepared to answer the question "Why is it included in Worship?" What does this song have to teach us? How is it related to a Biblical truth or concept?

Hymn Sing Reformations Sunday / All Saints Day

Tomorrow is All Saints Day and today is Reformation Sunday both days
when we remember, to praise the courage of men and women through the
ages who have dared to raise their voices and exert the energy of
their faith to gain clearer understandings of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. It is a time to thank God for the ecumenical spirit that in
recent decades has brought the body of Christ closer together. In a
few weeks Christians from this community will gather together in this
sanctuary to worship and give thanks. So, we begin with a hymn of
Martin Luther "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" then continue with
"Forward through the ages, in unbroken line"
