Psalm 95: 1-2
Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song.
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song.
From the very beginning, music has been a part of worship. At CKPres we strive to honor both traditional and contemporary styles, featuring a ‘blended’ approach to music on Sunday mornings. Our music staff has a broad range of experience and training from the very classical to playing in a well-known 90’s pop band!Whatever the style, the goal is the same: to lead worshipers in expressing their true devotion to God and to allow God to speak and move our hearts as we worship him. Below are some of the ways to get involved in music as CKPres.
The singing enveloped me. It was furry and resonant, coming from everyone’s very heart. There was no sense of performance or judgment, only that the music was breath and food. Somehow the singing wore down all the boundaries and distinctions that kept me isolated. Sitting there, standing with them to sing, I felt bigger than myself, like I was being taken care of… coming back to life.
