St. Peter Catholic Parish - Music Ministry
Soli Deo Gloria
The purpose of the music ministry is to exhort, uplift and encourage the body of Christ through song and worship.
Did you know that there are more than 360 exhortations in scripture to "sing to the Lord?" Music is not only an important part of worship, but a necessary one. To sing is to connect our hearts with the Divine; to open our hearts to praising Him outside of the structures of time and space. Music allows us to express what our mouths lack the words to say.
But we can only accomplish this with your help! Do you have a musical gift? Do you feel called to serve God and your community in a special way? Do you love friendship - sharing - encouraging? Then join the musical team of St Peter - contact Mary Odgaard or simply stop by the parish office.

Sunday, 11:00 AM MassUnder the direction of Mary Odgaard the 11:00 AM group is comprised of a quartet that relies almost exclusively on sight reading. At this point in time it is expected that this group will remain relatively small. New members interested in joining this group are encouraged to join the Vigil or 9:30 AM groups first to become more familiar with the Mass repertoire. |
