The Ministry Of Music at St. Edward's offers a way to worship for many ages, interests, and skills. Members are expected to take whatever talents and experiences they have, and work them during rehearsals to offer back to God the blessings they have received. During services, the members take the results of their work and offer it in praise to God, and to help lead the congregation in the liturgy. You are encouraged to participate in this ministry.
