Adult Music
The Joyful Mission of Redeemer's Choirs is to lead the congregation in worship through hymns and liturgy, and to proclaim the Gospel through psalmody, anthems and spiritual songs which underscore God's Word as it is read and preached. Drawing on the rich Lutheran musical heritage and a wide variety of other musical traditions, Redeemer's choirs reflect a diverse and growing congregation.
All of Redeemer's Choirs are now accepting members as the new season begins. Look at the exciting plans described below and contact the appropriate leader for membership information. Participation in Redeemer's choirs does not require membership in the church.

The Redeemer Choir
Our primary adult choir
Members are adults (post high school) who love music, have pleasant voices, and are willing and able to learn and work as part of a team.
Participation includes Sunday services at 8:15 and 11:00 a.m.. We usually do the same music in both services. While a few singers sing both services, most do one or the other; on festival Sundays, we ask everyone to sing both services, as they are able.
In November 2007 the choir will be featured in
Harvest Home Concert: A Midtown Thanksgiving
(www. HarvestHomeConcert.org) and in March 2008 in a performance of Bach's St. John Passion.
Rehearsals are Wednesdays, 7:30-9:00 p.m. and Sundays, 9:30-10:30 a.m. Each rehearsal has people from both the 8:15 and 11:00 a.m. services; they choose the one that is most convenient for them. The Sunday morning rehearsal provides a good option for people who travel during the week, or who have children in Sunday School. Wednesday night is a little more thorough rehearsal because of the extra half-hour.
Leader: David Hansen, Director of Adult Choral Activities
