“I will sing of steadfast love and justice;
to you, O Lord, I will make music.” (Psalm 101: 1)
At Midway Christian Church, we embrace music and its power to bring us together. We begin each worship service with an opening hymn, we prepare our hearts for prayer and for communion with hymns, and we end with a closing hymn of invitation. In addition to this congregational singing, the choir and piano accompanist bring us an anthem specially chosen with the worship theme in mind. At times, the anthem may be a solo, a duet, a performance by our hand bell choir, or other special music. On this page, you will find a collection of Midway Christian Church anthems. The full worship services can be found on YouTube.
“O come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!” (Psalm 95: 1-2)
