A CHOIR CAN MAKE MAJOR CONTRIBUTIONS
TO YOUR CHURCH SERVICE.
- Choirs and Choir Music Praise God.
- Choirs Create a Reverent Atmosphere and Remind People They are In God's Presence.
- Choir Music Can Support and Amplify Sermon Theme.
- Choir Music Inspires, Blesses, Soothes, Admonishes Listeners.
- Music Can Help Congregation Remember Biblical Concepts.
- Choir Responses Help Define Order of Service.
- Choirs Can Encourage Attendance: People may come back for the music; the choir members' families are more likely to attend; ***and if there's already a group attending, it's easier
to want to be there.
- The Speaker has a Guaranteed Sympathetic Audience, the Choir. This can give him or her enough confidence to preach
a better sermon.
- ***Because there's a core of people who already
participate--the choir--the congregation won't be afraid to add their own participation to the church service.
