Our worship life is rooted in the Lutheran heritage. It revolves around Word and Sacrament., Through the course of the year we use numerous worship services from the ELW (Evangelical Lutheran Worship) and other sources.

 

At King of Glory, we have several ways to share your musical talents.  Our music program supports each worship service with voice and sometimes instruments. 

 Vocal Choirs

Our choirs are made up of a group of talented people who love to sing praises to God and give of their talents to enhance our worship services. The choir is non-audition, and is open and welcome to new members at all times.  We support the worship year round, but during the summer months, rehearsals are 30 minutes prior to each service and simpler anthems are chosen.  From September until June, our schedule is as follows:

-The choir for the 8:30am Sunday service meets every Wednesday evening from 7:30 – 9:00pm to rehearse hymns and anthems for the following Sundays.

-The choir for the 11:00am Sunday service meets every Sunday at 10am to rehearse hymns and anthems for that day’s service, as well as following Sundays.

 These vocal groups combine together a few times a year to sing at both services.

 Bell Choir

-Our Bell Choir rehearses every Monday evening from 7:00-8:30pm. This talented group performs 3 to 4 times a year and occasionally a few ringers are used during services to toll starting notes or play descants.

 Service Music

We use a variety of liturgical settings for our services and change for each liturgical season.  The LBW and the WOV settings are used most often as well as Marty Haugen’s Holden Evening Prayer and Feast & Celebration. 

 Our hymns and Psalms are a wonderful blend of the traditional and the contemporary, using the before mentioned hymnbooks as well as songs from the Renewing Worship and Worship & Praise Songbooks.  You may hear a beautiful Bach Organ Prelude one Sunday, a praise song with rhythm instruments from around the world the next Sunday and maybe a rousing Gospel hymn on the piano to send you out the door.
