"I rejoiced with those who said to me, 'Let us go to the house of the LORD.'" Psalm 122:1
The Holy and Almighty God, Creator and Sustainer of the Universe, our Triune God ... Father, Son, and Holy Spirit ... is worthy of all the praise and honor we can give to Him (Rev. 4:9-11). The goal of our Worship Ministries is to provide a setting in which people can gather before God, receive His abundant gifts of grace through His holy Word and Sacraments, and offer Him their hearts and spirits in praise and thanksgiving (John 4:23-24). Through regular worship, people grow in their relationships to God and one another.
Our Worship Ministries also reach many outside our congregation with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Over ten percent of our worshipers are guests -- some come with church family members, and others are simply looking for a church home.
Our Worship Ministries offer a variety of opportunities for Christian service:
Chancel Choir: Adult Choir
The Chancel Choir sings at our Sunday morning worship services and seasonal festival services to enhance the worship experience. Our choir also takes part in several community concerts throughout the year. It provides opportunities for those who enjoy singing, to study and sing great music from across three centuries. The Choir practices each Thursday evening from 7:30 - 9:00 pm

Sunday School Children's Choir: Grades K-5
The children of Sunday School sing several times each year in special presentations. Listening and watching children sing is such an enjoyable experience; the Christmas program, Westmaple singers all bring smiles with their familiar music and some unique songs too. Children learn their music in Sunday School providing us and them with an upbeat encounter each time we come together. Look for more opportunities to sing to the Lord!
