Creator Choir
The Choir at Creator is an integral part of the worship service. The hymns, service music and Psalms are beautiful reflections of centuries of godly worship, additionally, the choir performs Offertory and Communion anthems that reflect the appointed scripture readings. We sing a wide variety of styles that include sacred hymnody, classical, folk, gospel, and blues. The singing may be accompanied by organ or piano or A cappella.
The Choir leads our liturgical song from early September through Pentecost and then breaks for the summer. Rehearsals have been suspended. The choir consists of dedicated volunteers and enjoys meeting weekly to rehearse beautiful music that enriches the worship service. All are welcome in the ‘Choir Loft’ and should just come on up on Sunday morning.
Choir: Opportunity, Extension, Reflection.
The choir is an opportunity for involvement. A church’s ministry is only as effective as the people in its congregation who choose to get involved. Small groups, outreach teams, and the arts have provided great opportunities for congregants to sow into the life of their church’s ministry, and the choir falls under all three of those categories. I’ve often heard the choir referred to as “the church within the church.” When you join a choir, you’re not just singing notes together, you’re doing life and ministry together.
The choir is an extension of the pulpit. There are so many fantastic songs that have been written for the Church and many that have yet to be written. But not all songs are necessarily suitable for corporate worship. There are songs that teach, encourage, compel, and call to action, and the choir is a marvelous mouthpiece for such things. By presenting these kinds of songs, the choir takes on a pastoral role, and it brings a rich dynamic to the theme or message of that particular service. This is especially effective in services with a missional focus or special services like those during Holy Week or the Christmas season.
The choir is a reflection of heaven. The prophet Isaiah gives us a glimpse into God’s throne room with angels singing together, “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory” (Isaiah 6:3). St. John paints a similar picture in the Book of Revelation. There is a heavenly choir that sings God’s praises for all eternity. When we see our friends and family in the choir loft singing in harmony of voice and spirit, I believe we are momentarily transported (even if only in our spirits) to the throne room of heaven. Everyone is welcome to “raise a joyful noise to the Lord” and encouraged to ascend to the loft to be a part of this deeply spiritual ministry.
