Music and Worship Arts at Dayspring
At Dayspring, music is an integral part of the worship experience and is spiritually engaging for both singers and listeners. Musical diversity is one important way to connect with a diverse congregation like Dayspring. Respect for tradition while exploring contemporary and ethnic musical styles is another way. Music can help to bridge the gap between the need for tradition and continuity in worship and the desire for relevance in today’s church. There is a role for all age groups to share in worship, and comfort level is balanced with the need to discover our voice with God. Worshipful music offerings are opportunities for individuals or groups with musical gifts to be present to God in a range of musical styles.
The Worship Arts Team
Several Dayspringers join our Music Director to lead the singing on an occasional basis. There is a casual approach to rehearsing and presentation in church.
There is a wide range of musical experience and abilities in this group of volunteers. We encourage anyone who has a desire to sing to participate in a way that fits their comfort level and their abilities.
Sunday worship is enhanced by occasional vocal and instrumental solos, along with visual presentations , dramatic presentations, and other artistic practices.
