Are you ready to lift your voice and make a joyful noise! Joining the church choir is a wonderful way to connect with fellow members and share your love for music in a meaningful way. Whether you are a seasoned singer, or just want to check this out, there is a place for you in the FOG choir family. I am the new music director at FOG, and I want to encourage you to come rehearse for the church year. The next rehearsals will be on Wednesday, September 17 from 7-8 pm in the FOG sanctuary.

A Message From Judy

October 2025 Newsletter

On October 31, 1517 in Wittenberg Germany, Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church. His ideas advocated for a personal relationship with God over reliance on priests. Luther stated that he “would allow no man to preach or teach God’s people without a proper knowledge of the use and power of sacred song. Next to the word of God, music deserves the highest praise.” 


As a German monk and theologian, Luther saw many serious problems in the church. Leaders were selling documents called indulgences that promised to forgive people’s sins in exchange for money. Luther wanted people to know they could find salvation through faith in Jesus Christ alone.


Church leaders did not welcome Luther’s message, kicked him out of the church declaring him an outlaw. Luther stood firm, and wrote the hymn A Mighty Fortress Is Our God inspired by Psalm 46. The psalm states that God is our shelter, and speaks of God’s power to protect his people against all enemies seen and unseen. 


A Mighty Fortress is our God became known as the Battle Hymn of the Reformation, because it gave courage to persecuted protestant believers. Our congregation will join with churches throughout the world singing this hymn of strength and grace on October 26th.


See you in church!
