Music Ministry
Music has always had an important place in Lutheran worship. From the German chorales to contemporary hymnody, to the addition of hymns from various cultures, Lutherans have always held to the motto: “Bis orat, qui contat.” (“Those who sing pray twice.”). Music enlivens our worship and allows the emotions and thoughts of our hearts to be expressed as our offering to God. We use a variety of musical settings in our Sunday Eucharists, as well as a wide range of hymns. Instrumental accompaniment also enhances our music at our festival celebrations.
Salem is a singing congregation! We have choir opportunities for all ages. Our Adult Choir, led by Director of Music Dr. Meg Flowers, rehearses on Wednesday evenings. The youth choir and the children’s choir, also directed by Dr. Flowers, both rehearse on Sunday evenings. In our music God is glorified!
Salem is also blessed to have a handbell choir, directed by Dr. Margaret Flowers. Rehearsals are held on Monday evenings at 7:15 p.m.
