The gift of language combined with the gift of song was given to man that he should proclaim the word of God through music. Martin Luther
Following Martin Luther’s example, we place great emphasis on congregational singing of hymns and liturgical music at First Lutheran. Our nave has wonderful acoustics and an Aeolian-Skinner organ regarded as one of the finest pipe organs in south central Pennsylvania for leading congregational song.
The Chancel Choir (high school and older) helps lead our 10:30 a.m. liturgy weekly from early September through Holy Trinity Sunday in late May/early June. On the Second or Third Sunday of Advent each year, the choir leads a service of Lessons and Carols to which all are invited.
We are always happy to welcome new singers to the Chancel Choir! We rehearse Thursdays from 7-8:15 p.m. in the choir room, concluding with fellowship and refreshments, from early September through late May/early June. Contact our cantor, Dr. Stanley Wicks, for more information at musician@firstlutherancarlisle.org or (717) 249-3310.
