I will sing to the Lord as long as I live. (Psalm 104:33a)
The Saint Ambrose parish is so blessed with abundant musical talent within our community. Has God so blessed you? We invite you to serve in music ministry! There is a place for everyone – veteran and new, young and young-at-heart, instrumentally gifted, vocally talented, and those who just like to sing.
Excitement is building, so if you have considered music ministry in the past but have hesitated to take the step, now is the time!
There are several opportunities to participate:
Adult Choir – rehearses each Wednesday from 7:00 – 9:00 pm in the church to prepare for singing at 8:30 and/or 11:00 Sunday Mass as well as holy days. No experience required. High school and older. Season begins Wednesday, September 7th.
Seasonal Choir – for those able to participate in a more abbreviated format, a seasonal choir will enhance the weekly adult choir during the high seasons of Advent-Christmas and Lent-Easter. High school and older. No experience necessary.

Liturgical Ministry – we have needs in the following areas:

There is nothing quite like the power of music to bring a sense of the power of God into our lives! Music is one of the ways we worship. The heart is where worship begins. We invite you to come learn, rehearse, and share God’s Holy Word through His beautiful creation, music.
