Spiritual Formation
Classes Centerpoint Ministries Music The All Saints' Choir, led Music Director Arlene Long, is highly regarded as one of our great treasures. It is certainly a strong and vital part our worship at the 10:30 Sunday service and during other special services and concerts throughout the year. They rehearse on Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. and extend an open invitation to any who wish to join them. Each choir member brings different gifts to choir - each person is a gift, each person is important, and our director works to bring them all together, like pieces of a puzzle, for the best picture. In rehearsal and in services, Arlene and the choir members make a real effort to give attention to the guidance of the Spirit, moment by moment. They discuss from time to time how that feels, what it requires of each one in terms of setting aside individual ideas, even while keeping their knowledge and skills of music. They allow themselves to experience whatever they're experiencing personally at that moment, AND to recognize their part in the larger picture. Creating music becomes the vehicle for practicing the spiritual life. The LifeStreams Band is under the volunteer direction of Gary Chatham and they serve at the Sunday 9:09 service. Their music is frequently contemporary and always reflective of our divine inner stirrings. This creative group of musicians includes both instrumentalists and singers to bring the liturgy alive in a way that engages people of ages - most especially children and youth. Their open rehearsals are on Wednesdays at 6 p.m. Another View The All Saints Collection of Another View Library |
