Music Ministry
Musically accompanied singing has always been an indispensable part of
the worship of the people of God. The choice and presentation of songs
plays a very important part in creating the mood for worship and
helping people to connect with their God in meaningful ways. We
acknowledge that song preferences are many and varied.
At St Mary's we use some of the old hymns, early renewal and Scripture
in Song music. Predominantly, we use songs which were written
post 1990. Amongst these are an increasing body of songs of New Zealand
origin.
Playing an instrument and singing in the music group on Sundays is
encouraged. If you can do either, or both, please discuss this
with Robin. Email Robin on robin.gunston@gmail.com
Our
music is accompanied variously by an electronic keyboard, acoustic and
occasionally electronic or BASS guitar, flute, electronic drums and a
singing group. Some Sundays all are there while on others we may use
only the electronic keyboard.
