MUSIC MINISTRY CREED

We, the members of the Good Shepherd Music Ministry, recognize our call to be pastoral musicians.

We recognize that the beauty of our celebrations is enhanced in song and want to use our gifts and talents to give praise to God our Father, each in our own measure.

Our main function is to lead the congregation in prayer. The psalmist says, "Sing joyfully to the Lord, all you lands; break into song, sing praise." We promise to be faithful to practice and prayer, so that we may prayerfully execute each song.

We do not see our roles as one of performers; but instead we stimulate, reinforce, and sustain the congregation's singing and participation.

We ask the Lord's blessing on our music ministry that the words we sing and the notes we play may transform the lives and hearts of all present and draw us closer to Jesus Christ our Lord.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
