Dr. Jess Moody

Pastor

As the pastor of a living fellowship, I am

bathed in a veritable baptism of great and

diversified music. We are fortunate to be

ministered to by a dynamic minister of music,

0. D. Hall, Jr. and a choir of deeply com-

mitted people.

Many Sundays I have sat on the rostrum awaiting the time to preach, not

really feeling up to the moment, emotionally or spiritually. Then 0. D. and

the choir begin presenting the full and invigorating harmony of some Christ

honoring theme

I turn and look into the faces of the beautiful people who give their time

for vocal stewardship. It is impossible to explain, but something good and

golden begins to take place in my heart. The music seems to excite the Christ

in my life. He claps His nail-scarred hands and I am able to tell the Sunday

throng that eternity has crashed into time and we can never be the same again.

Music is the universal theology, invading the psyche of the most rebellious of

men. It is the spoonful of sugar that makes the most stringent of spiritual

medicine go down - in a most delightful way.

The Ministry of Music of First Baptist

Church, West Palm Beach, is both a showcase

of Christian talent and a laboratory for

discovery and development-all dedicated to

the principle that talents are given by God to

be developed and used for His service.

O.D. Hall, Jr.

The Sanctuary Choir, the principal service choir, presents an anthem each

week in the morning worship service (televised live in color throughout the

Gold Coast and Bahamas). They participate in Sunday evening services in the

Chapel-by-the-Lake, and in revivals, festivals, and community programs.

Among the larger seasonal works recently performed by the choir with

orchestra are: Bach: CHRISTMAS ORATORIA, Handel: MESSIAH, Dubois:

THE SEVEN LAST WORDS OF CHRIST, Prentice: THE D*AY OF RESUR-

RECTION, Caldwell: OF TIME AND ETERNITY, Thompson: THE

NATIVITY ACCORDING TO ST. JUDE, Coleman: CITY OF THE KING,

and Mickelson: THIS SAME JESUS.
