True Purpose of the Liturgical Seasons “I love seeing the kids get into it and learn about the liturgy,” she says. “Seeing them make those little discoveries all the time is worth it.” When Shelbi plans the music, whether it’s her own composition or an arrangement of a favorite, she hopes to draw the parishioners in with enough familiarity that everyone feels comfortable and is able to join in song. “Our goal is to always make sure that we’re contributing to their experience,” Shelbi says. “We don’t want to take away or distract. When we keep it familiar, people feel a sense of homeyness.” There are many options for someone who would like to get involved with the music at All Saints. If you sing, there’s a choir for you in both contemporary and more traditional styles. We have a handbell choir that contributes so much to the Christmas liturgies and the All Saints Brass plays on special feast days. Our Music Ministry hopes that everyone feels welcomed and at home through the music.
