Music
“To sing is to pray twice.”
St. Augustine of Hippo
Choir
Do you love to sing – to make a joyful noise unto the Lord? Come to choir on Thursday evenings and join your voice with ours! All are welcome.
​
The Good Shepherd Choir is open to all adults and youth.
Our choir practices September – May on Wednesday evenings. We perform four-part anthems on most Sundays and need new/more singers on all parts. Please consider joining the choir.
​
We are always recruiting! Invite a friend to join with you!
Bluegrass Band
In our congregation we are fortunate to have an abundance of musical talent. We even have a special summer service that features our in-house bluegrass group on banjo, mandolin, and guitar! The “Bluegrass Sunday” tradition at Good Shepherd began on a summer afternoon in 2008, when Rick Curtis and Dick Hickman began playing bluegrass and folk songs on their mandolin and guitar. This year Dick and Rick welcome vocalists: Sandi Bray, Maggie Southwick, and Cortes Pauls to the group.
Listen to the music: Blue Grass Band.
Our Tracker Organ
The Good Shepherd organ was built by the Dobson Organ Company, which is located in the small western Iowa town of Lake City.
Lynn A. Dobson, owner and artistic director of the firm, designed the case of the organ. Free-standing, the organ contains approximately one thousand pipes arranged in 17 ranks and 15 stops. The pipes, some of wood and others of a lead/tin alloy or of zinc, are played by two manual keyboards and a pedal keyboard through an entirely mechanical system of levers and rods between the keyboards and pipe valv
This system, called tracker action, is extremely long-lived and has been used in organ construction since the instrument’s invention about 2,300 years ago.​​​
