| Music "Next to the Word of God, music deserves the highest praise. The gift of language, combined with the gift of song, was given to humankind that we should proclaim the Word of God through music." -Martin Luther Incarnation’s Music Ministry has opportunities for people of all ages, offering great ways to use your musical gifts to help lead worship as part of an ensemble and to connect with the one another within this faith community. Whether you are an advanced musician or new to music, vocalist or instrumentalist, there is a place for you to use your passions for music to glorify God. Opportunities to Get Involved The music program at Incarnation offers opportunities for preschool-age children through adults. Vocal and hand bell choirs, and various soloists and instrumental ensembles prepare music and help lead Sunday worship at 8:45 and 10:05 am. Bands lead the more casual and contemporary worship services at 10:45 am and 6:00 pm. Many of these groups also perform concerts within Incarnation and in the wider community at various times throughout the year. All are welcome and invited to be a part of the various musical groups and ensembles at Incarnation, whether you are a member of Incarnation or not.
