Why should the devil have all the good music? And who says he’s got “all” of it anyway ?
Committed to serving St Peters in the provision of Contemporary Christian music to enhance the worship of today’s church.
Mixing established favourites of Mission Praise with the newest songs from the likes of Spring Harvest, Soul Survivor, and New Wine, St Peter’s Music Group brings a modern element to compliment the tradition of Sunday morning services.
Comprising of people from year 11 onwards, through to people who remember when it was 5th year at school and did O-levels rather than GCSEs!, from all walks of life, the group work together to support the leadership of the church and congregation in worship. It is a regular feature of the 10:30 Sunday morning services, and plays all music for the monthly Informal/Prayer & Praise service on the first Sunday evening of each month. It also contributes to other special services in the life of St Peters throughout the year.
The addition of the new church PA system from PAS Sound Engineering (www.pas-sound.co.uk) in March 2003 has enhanced the sound for both congregation and group, as well as adding flexibility to services through the use of CD tracks. A dedicated PA team operate the desk at each service to ensure the quality of sound is maximised for the benefit of all.
With an aim of providing enjoyable worship through high musical integrity, the group meets weekly to rehearse for the following Sunday’s service. Whilst functional in nature, this also serves as a time of fellowship for the group members to enjoy.
As the Reverend Rowland Hill, pastor of Surrey Chapel in London, preached in 1844, "The devil should not have all the best tunes." And we agree !
