The Master’s Touch Chorale
T he
Master’s Touch Chorale is a choir of nearly 40 dedicated
Christian singers, from some 17 denominations, who are united by their
common faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and by His calling to
spread His Good News in the ministry of music. The singers, from many
communities, professions and walks of life, meet every other Sunday
evening throughout the year to rehearse and pray together, or to concertize to the glory of God.
Founded in April of 1993, The Master’s Touch is in
its 16th year of ministry under the musical
direction of Warren Ottey, who also serves as Music Director of The
Syracuse Chorale and organist-choir director at Cazenovia Village
Baptist Church. During its tenure of ministry The Master’s
Touch, which charges no fee, but concertizes on faith, has sung in
many churches and at community events over a wide geographical area, and
is always open to singing in new venues, as requests are received.
Three such invitations, truly gifts from the Lord,
were from The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C.,
where The Master’s Touch was privileged to
sing concerts on December 21, 2002, December 20, 2004
and December 22, 2008.
Featuring a menu of Christian music ranging from Beethoven to
Bluegrass, The Master’s Touch Chorale strives to please
the musical palate of every listener in every concert. More important,
the chorale seeks to lift up and magnify the Lord Jesus Christ and to
bring every listener closer to Him, to experience a deeper sense of His
forgiveness, unconditional love, power and victory!
We acknowledge:
That we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God.
- That we have all received Jesus Christ as our personal Savior and
Lord.
- That if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive
our sins and keep on cleansing us from all unrighteousness.
-
That, in the power of the Holy Spirit, we seek to live daily as
Jesus would have us live; and we also seek to bring others to Him
through our witness: that we have been with Jesus.
-
That being touched personally by our Master, Jesus Christ, and
given the gift of music, we have accepted His call to sing His
wonderful Gospel wherever He may lead us to minister.
