Music
|
Music
is an important part of Christian Science services. The congregation
sings from the Christian Science Hymnal, 1932 and 2017
editions. The services are accompanied by a three manual Ahlborn-Galanti
Praeludium III digital organ equipped with a ProteusFX sound
module and a 5' 3" Yamaha GC1 piano.
A
distinctive feature of Christian Science churches is the solo
that is chosen to highlight some aspect of each week's Bible
Lesson-Sermon.
Music
styles vary from classical to contemporary. Chorale preludes
based on the hymns sung in the services are often presented
as part of the prelude music.
Everyone
is welcome to arrive early for the prelude music and join with
others in prayerful preparation for the services.

 "Sing
to the Lord a joyful song,
Lift up your hearts, your voices raise;
To us His gracious gifts belong,
To Him our songs of love and praise."
