The Music Ministry is an integral part of every Sunday Morning Worship Service, as well as special occasions during the liturgical year. We use vocal and instrumental music to enhance the lectionary in the worship service. In addition to weekly worship services, The Music Ministry prepares special services for “Advent Service of Lessons and Carols”, Ash Wednesday, Holy Thursday, and “Tenebrae” for Good Friday, as well as a Service of Lessons and Songs in the Fall and in the Spring.The Chancel Choir leads the congregation in song for the 10:30 am worship service and for special services. This choir meets every Thursday with 2 rehearsal options depending on singers’ availability. Singers may come from 12 noon – 1:30 pm, or 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm. The choir meets every Sunday morning at 9:45 am to prepare for the worship service.

The Cultural Series Committee sponsors several Cultural programs featuring music and art throughout the year. We are committed to providing visual arts and performing arts at the same event. The performers and artists usually come to us from the wider community and, from time to time, may include performers and artists who are also members of St. Matthias. We offer a venue for the various talents of artists and musicians in our community, and we recognize that the beauty you experience are Gifts from God.
