Music Program at St. John's
Welcome back to school! Whether your child is a returning student or new to St. John’s, we are happy for the opportunity to teach and nurture every child in our midst. This e-mail highlights important information you need to know as the year begins. It is our desire to raise up every child to live his or her life as an offering of praise to our Lord Jesus. The Bible tells us that music plays an important role in praising God, both individually and together as a Christian community .

¨   S ing to the LORD, you saints of his; praise his holy name. (Psalm 30:4)
¨   Make music to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, with trumpets and the blast of the ram's horn . (Psalms 98:5-6)
¨   Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord. (Ephesians 5:19)
