Perfecting Chords is an anchor engagement of Loving Our Cities, an effort of Perfecting Ministries to mobilize people to be the church, in addition to attending one, by using our gifts to meet the needs of our neighbors in the cities where we live, work, serve and worship.

Currently offered in all four elementary schools in the Winslow Township School District, Perfecting Chords is a FREE, after-school program designed to instill a love of music and their neighbors in the hearts of students in first through third grades. Introducing students to basic music theory, harmony and melody while building their character and a greater sense of connectedness and community, Perfecting Chords begins in September and continues through April, concluding with a public, finale concert at Winslow Township High School.

Now in its fourth year, Perfecting Chords is in search of teachers and support staff who share a passion for children and music to grow its program. For more information and to apply, click here, or email [email protected].

David makes a profound statement when he says, “the Lord is my shepherd...” We all have a shepherd. In fact we have many shepherds. Shepherds are the things we pursue and follow. They are the habits and ways that define our lives and set our course. They are the things that influence our motives and direction in life. According to a recent Pew Research study on religion and public life 70.6% of those living in the United States self-identify as Christian. But one look at our morning TV shows or our nightly news reveals 70% of us can not honestly claim the Lord is the one shepherding us.
