Music Ministry at Christ Lutheran Church Music
Ministry is a vital part of Christ Lutheran Church, which has a thriving music program, and has opportunities for all ages
and abilities. Children, youth, students, and adults contribute their energy and talents to praise God
throughout the seasons of the church year. Our congregation’s musical life is enhanced by the adult
choir, the children’s LOGOS choir, various instrumentalists who contribute special music, and the churches concert series,
which brings in performers from around the world. We invite you to join with us in our worship of God through
music, even if you cannot commit to a great amount of time, by performing at special times of the year, like Christmas or
Easter. The Organ Our pride and joy is our Taylor & Boody pipe organ (Opus 24), which is a two
manual, mechanical key and stop action organ. The instrument leads congregational singing, and is capable
of handling a wide range of solo literature, and can be played without electricity by hand pumping. It has 2400 pipes
and can be very soft or dramatically loud. For a complete stop list and more information about this and
other instruments by Taylor & Boody, please visit their website: http://www.taylorandboody.com/ Rehearsal Schedule: The

church services every Sunday morning (during the regular school year) and for special services such as Thanksgiving Eve, Christmas
Eve, Easter Ever, and for Holy Week. The Children’s LOGOS Choir
