Music is Spirit!

Musical Presentation

What is Music?

Music is the art or science of producing pleasing or expressive combinations of tones, especially with rhythm, melody, and harmony. At least that's what Merriam-Webster's dictionary says. But music is so much more than that. It is a universal language that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers, a form of expression that can evoke emotions, tell stories, and bring people together. Music can be a source of comfort, inspiration, and joy, and it has the power to influence our thoughts, feelings, and actions in profound ways.


Benefits of Music

But most importantly, music is another way of worshipping God, our Father in Heaven. It is a way of expressing our love and gratitude to Him, and it can be a powerful tool for spiritual growth and connection.
