Music Ministries

Music at the 11:00 worship service is drawn from Christians around the world.  Global Christian music reminds us that Our Savior's is a small part of the worldwide church of believers.  By including music from many cultures in our worship, we become aware of Christians throughout the world, strengthening the bond between us.  Together we praise the God of all people.

Native American flute music was played to accompany the reading of the prayers at the 11:00 service during Lent and offered at the Good Friday Tre Ore service.  

Bob Foley, coordinator of the group, 3AM, and worship planner plays the Native American flute.  "The flutes are tuned in minor keys, perfect for offering this reflective music on Good Friday."
 

The Senior Choir provides the support for the liturgy and sings anthems at the 8:30 service.  The Choir had a blessed experience in June 2007 touring Germany.

John mugshotOrganist John Seboldt plays the organ with a keen ear to congregational participation, to the point of dropping out and listening to people sing once in a while! He'll also pull out spirited organ music that uses the Casavant organ to its fullest. Never one to be completely limited to the classics, he'll also use other keyboards and advocates a full range of Christian song at the 8:30 service and elsewhere.

A familiar hymn from our Scandinavian heritage, "O Day Full of Grace", as sung on Pentecost 2008, with organ and congregation. 
The organ with drums? Sure, for something like the South African standard, "Siyahamba/We Are Marching in the Light of God". A collaboration with 3AM's percussionists!
