Make a joyful noise

Next to the word of God, music deserves the highest praise. The gift of language combined with the gift of song was given to man that he should proclaim the word of God through music. Martin Luther

Music is truly a gift of God. It lifts up our souls and communicates a message in a way only music can do. At Shepherd of the Hills we have a variety of opportunities for people of all ages to enhance our worship with song and instrument. If you like to sing or play an instrument, we encourage you to join in a choir or provide special music for one of our worship services.
