Music is vital part of our life at Memorial. We have on-going vocal and instrumental programs. We have a number of individuals and groups who bring their talents to enhance our experience of worship. That’s an important point. At Memorial, we see music as an essential part of the way we worship together.
While we are very proud of the work of our musicians, we do not think of what they do as performing, but rather as helping all of us to deepen our sense of the presence of God in our world.
