Worship and Music
The worship and music committee assists the church council in seeing that the worship services are conducted regularly and in accordance with the liturgy of the ELCA. They recruit and train ushers, care for the hymnals and musical instruments, employ the organist and supervise the Altar Guild in addition to running the choir, bell choir and children's choir.
