We are grateful to have RJ Reed as our choir director.
Music is powerful. It is spirit-filled, energetic, and at times intense. Gospel music, in particular, breathes life into its listeners, offering refreshment, encouragement, consolation, and sustenance. Music enhances the individual experience by ministering to the soul of the individual. The Lead Me Guide Me Hymnal explains that sacred song is holistic. The hymnal says, “It challenges the individual to a full engagement of mind, memory, feeling, emotion, and body. It is participatory because is invites the worshipping community to join in contemplation, in celebration and in prayer.”
