The Lutheran Church at its core is a musical church, and at Trinity, we strive to provide an opportunity for all to give Glory to God through song, whether it be in the congregation or through the nurture and use of special musical gifts. God gave us voices, and we give them back in praise!

The opportunities range from full, active participation in the song of the whole church during Worship as a member of the congregation or through various specialized ensembles.

With numerous talented instrumental musicians, we provide opportunities for all to praise God in worship on a regular basis. Members are provided venues to share their instrumental talents in a myriad of ways, through providing preludes and musical offerings and accompanying the song of the community. Solo, small ensemble, and large ensemble possibilities exist for musicians of all ages and abilities in the community.

"Cantor" is an ancient term that has come to have multiple meanings, including "leader of the people's song." Cantors historically have proclaimed the Word of God most especially in psalmody, and in our context provide opportunities for people to participate in the dialogue of Liturgy - the "work of the People of God." Cantors are selected for their leadership skills, their musical ability, and their desire to proclaim God's word in the midst of the people gathered. Cantors receive formation in the skills necessary to carry out their ministry.

Festival of Lessons and Carols is a celebration in worship during the season of Advent, usually held on the third Sunday of Advent. The festival is a simple service that weaves together scripture and song. Matching time-honored lessons with carols, it carries us from prophecy to fulfillment, from Old Testament foretelling to the arrival of the Prince of Peace. Through these windows and words of the Bible we see the development of the loving purposes of God.

We celebrate the heritage of Lutheran music through the works of composer Johann Sebastian Bach, by joining with other Lutherans in the Lawrence community to sing major choral works as a part of our community's worship.
