“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!” — Psalm 150:6

In this episode, Rachel embarks on a new Adventure in Lutheranism as she helps start and lead a new children’s choir at her church.

After cruising through a cursory history of children’s music in church, she invites Sarah, Erin, and her own daughter, Emalie, to share their personal stories of singing in Lutheran children’s choirs. She then relates her own recent experience as a children’s choir director, outlines the benefits of children’s choirs for both children and the congregations who love them, and shares advice and encouragement for leading a successful children’s choir in your own congregation.
