Widows Ministry

“Honor widows who are widows indeed . . .” (1 Timothy 5:3-16). Grace seeks to honor our widows by giving them spiritual support for grief through love and care, shared fellowship in worship, scheduled meetings, social events, prayers, and an annual Widows Banquet. In addition, this ministry strives to serve their needs through semi-annual Widows’ Work Days or as other needs arise. “Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in His holy habitation” (Psalm 68:5). “Therefore encourage one another and build one another up” (1 Thessalonians 5:11).

GRACE MUSIC MINISTRY: FOR THE GLORY OF GOD ALONE

Music and Worship at Grace is done for the glory of God alone (Soli Deo Gloria). God calls all Christians to reverently and joyfully worship (serve) Him in two ways:

1. In all our conduct (Deuteronomy 10:12-13; Mark 12;30; Romans 12:1).

2. According to our giftedness (Romans 12:3-8; 1 Peter 4:10-11).

How can we accomplish these means of worship, and how does music play a part? Focusing on our Lord Jesus Christ, we seek to be more Christlike. 2 Corinthians 3:18 says; “And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.” Hence, we seek to appropriately engage the holiness and majesty of God through our worship music, that we might cooperate with the Holy Spirit, who is making us more like Christ.

Grace offers the following opportunities to reverently and joyfully serve our Lord through music:

Congregational Singing

In seeking to conform the church’s worship to biblical standards, the Reformers believed the congregation to be the “first choir.” That is, they believed that all in the covenant community are called by God to sing His praises. At Grace, we sing well-established and newer hymn and Psalm settings that we might grow into maturity as the Bride of Christ (Colossians 3:1-17).

Sanctuary Choir

The Sanctuary Choir (adult choir) exists to exalt our Triune God with heart and voice and point our congregation to His transcendent glory. We rehearse each Wednesday from 6:00 – 7:15 p.m. to prepare anthems for our regular Sunday offerings. In the spring, we rehearse music for Maundy Thursday and Easter services; and in the fall, we rehearse for our Christmas Eve service. We are in a building phase! If you claim Christ as Savior and Lord and like to sing, we invite you to visit a rehearsal and/or talk with Shawn Eaton, our Music Director. No audition is required.

Instrumental Ensembles

We are working to develop an ensemble of like instruments (e.g., all brass, strings, or woodwinds) to expand our instrumental musical offerings unto God at Grace. If you play an instrument or have experience playing an instrument in one of these families, please contact Shawn Eaton, our Music Director, for more information.

Piano and Organ Playing Opportunities

Our Pianist, Beth McEwen and Organist, Judy Redeker, do an excellent job serving in these capacities each Sunday. In seeking to perpetuate the praises of God through instrumental music, and to allow for necessary absences, our desire is to develop a deep bench of capable pianists and organists. If you think you may be qualified for such a role, please contact Shawn Eaton, our Music Director.
