Sing For Joy has a simple mission: to provide music and commentary

that will support the church in evangelism and worship. By providing

sacred choral music and thoughtful commentary, the program prepares

listeners for worship and reinforces their worship experience. A defining

trait of Sing For Joy is basing each week's music on the scriptural lessons

specified in the common lectionary. This three-year cycle of readings

has become the basis for worship in the services that a majority of

churchgoers in America attend.  The musical performances eloquently

"do the talking," while the host's concise comments illuminate the

meaning of the texts. Accomplished members of the St. Olaf College

community share chief responsibility for Sing For Joy's content. College

Pastor Bruce Benson is writer and host.

Sing for Joy airs Sunday’s at 7 a.m.
