St. James Mar Thoma Church Choir: London

St. James Mar Thoma Church Choir
The congregation is the primary and largest choir in a church. We, the members of St James Mar Thoma Church Choir, aim to lead the congregation to sing, facilitate worship during all Church services and to bring a taste of heaven into our worship.

A choir is a reflection of heaven. John, in his book of Revelation, has painted a striking picture of the choir - There is a heavenly choir that sings God’s praises for all eternity. The prophet Isaiah also gives us a glimpse into God’s throne room with angels singing together, “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory” (Isaiah6:3)
Singing was part of Israel’s formal worship in both tabernacle and temple (1 Chron. 6:31–32,16:42). The Psalms bear a rich testimony that in joy and in sorrow, in praise and in lament, the faithful raise their voices in song to God. Hymn singing was practiced even by Jesus and his disciples (Matt. 26:30).
