The Lutheran Church has often been called "the singing church". At Messiah we worship joyfully within the Lutheran liturgical tradition. The framework of the church year helps us to proclaim the Gospel as we sing, chant, and offer our prayer.

Next to the word of God, music deserves the highest praise
...to comfort the sad...
to encourage the despairing,
to humble the proud,
to calm the passionate,
or to appease those full of hate.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another in all wisdom and as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your heart to God. -- Colossians 3:16
