Worship

Have you ever been deeply moved by beautiful music, a speech, a play, a poem, a painting, or the way a smile spread across the face of a child after he or she made their first joke? If you have, perhaps this is a calling for you to enhance your skills in the arena of artistic expression. We know that it is important to encourage the gifts of our members. Are your talents in the areas of music, dramatic reading, liturgical expression, dance or the visual arts? We encourage you to get involved with us at Immanuel.

	Music is the breath of the church where new and exciting dimensions are reached.
	Song is the expression of that which is beyond words.
	Choir is the avenue that brings great music into the presence of God

The choir are members of the church who present music at worship services and special events. At Immanuel, we explore unusual relationships through music as we honor God and help people. Anyone who enjoys singing is welcome to join us

In the choir, you will have the opportunity to be involved in:

	Learning how to sing and to read music
	Singing with other really good musicians
	Helping in the direction of the music events
	Planning and programming concerts
	Refurbishing, renovating and upgrading of the organ

We rehearse Thursday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m.

"Acoustigroove" band Zehnder regularly participates in music-making in worship and special events at Immanuel. Members of the church since 1991, songsmiths Tim Gibbs Zehnder and Tom Zehnder lead the group that includes cellist Aniela Perry and drummer Mike Boggio. Their independently released CD "Breathing" has begun to get the band radio airplay and attention among national conference organizers.

"One of my favorite local artists that I've had the pleasure of spinning on Fresh Fish Friday. Give them a listen, you won't be sorry!" Bob Shaw, Music Director for KFSH, 95.9 FM The Fish.

The liturgical team, the up-front leaders of Sunday worship, create the tone of the service by writing the Prayers of Illumination, Calls to Offering, and Prayers of Thanksgiving. In addition they lead the congregation in the Prayers of Confession, Assurances of Pardon and Affirmations of Faith. If your heart is moved to express your love for God through words, then this is the place to get involved.

You will be asked to lead in one worship service each quarter, and to write the appropriate prayers for that particular Sunday.
