An ancient leader of the church once said, “the person who sings prays twice.” That speaks to the importance of music within the life of faith. Music uniquely connects us to matters of the spirit, enriching our worship and our prayer. Music also connects us to one another.
Singing in the choir was an important part of my religious upbringing and I’ve always enjoyed being able to actively contribute to Sunday worship. I also get to share the experience with my mother which is special.
At FBCH, there is a place for you to participate in making music.
