Our Music
Music plays an important part in worship of our Lord. Our congregational style of music is "blended". We enjoy and feel it is important to sing the old hymns; and we also joyfully sing praise and worship songs. Kathy Van Wyngarden is our choir director. Jenny Burns is our praise team worship leader. We currently use the piano and organ. We are praying for more instruments to join in our worship.
