Music at St. Thomas
Music in our worship takes many forms, including traditional hymn singing, choir anthems, and instrumental music. Most of our hymns come from The Hymnal, 1982. We do, however, incorporate newer music from the supplemental hymnals Wonder, Love, and Praise, and Lift Every Voice and Sing. The choir provides leadership for most of the music, with occasional help from talented instrumentalists among the congregation.
Choirs
St. Thomas Choir
The Adult choir has about a dozen members. The choir offers beautiful music for the glory of God each Sunday. All interested singers are welcome. Operatic voices are not necessary. All that’s required is an enjoyment of music, a commitment to the program, and desire for wonderful camaraderie. The choir has rehearsal once a month on Thursday evening from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM (please see the calendar for upcoming rehearsals) and meets Sunday mornings at 8:45 AM starting the first full week in September and continuing through early June.

Note this was the first recording in refurbished sanctuary, which is more lively. Therefore, this recording is too hot!
This anthem was inspired by Jeff Crigler's father-in-law, who found a painting by this title and made a note in his music notes about "The Road Home." He died in January 2013. At the time of this recording, the composer was also near death.
Palm Sunday
