"Music adds delight to prayer, fosters oneness of spirit and invests the rites with greater solemnity." God has bestowed on his people the gift of song. God dwells within each person where music takes its source, and is present whenever his people sing his praises. Jesus and his apostles concluded the Last Supper with a hymn, and the Apostle Paul instructs the Christian faithful to sing together psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude to God. (Col 3:16; Eph 5:19). Thus the Church attaches great importance to the use of singing in the celebration of the Mass, continuing and developing the tradition first found in the Old Covenant and handed down by Jesus and his apostles.

"We, though many, are one body in Christ". There are a variety of roles within music ministry. The entire assembly is called to participate fully in the Liturgy and to be actively involved in the music. This participation both expresses and strengthens the faith that is in us. The song of the Congregation is especially important. Some members of the community with special gifts in leading musical praise and thanksgiving are called to serve as liturgical musicians in Choirs, as Cantors, Organists or Instrumentalists. For more information on Music Ministry at Church of the Resurrection, see the "Music Ministry" page under "Organizations".

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION

PRAYER LINE
The Prayer Line consists of a group of parishioners who have volunteered to pray for members of our parish and their immediate families in time of serious illness or special need.  There are two lines: phone chain and email. The phone line is activated by calling the parish with a request.  The request is then passed down by means of chain leaders and their members.  Since chains are activated between 6:00 and 9:00 p.m. on weekdays, volunteers for this ministry must ordinarily be available between these hours.  Because a break in a chain results in a complete shutdown of the remainder of the chain, those who sign on for this ministry should consider this a serious commitment.
The email line is activated by the parish office. As a member of the email group, you will receive a prayer request by email. You do not need to pass the request on.

Members of this ministry assist with washing and pressing the albs worn by the altar servers. The albs are to be cleaned three times a year.

Ushers help establish and maintain the suitable decorum of the Church gathered for worship, cordially assist people in being seated so that they form one community, distribute and pick up materials, and gather the offering. Please indicate on the stewardship form your choice of Mass time.
