What do past choir members say about their Zion experiences?

“I believe that The Lord places currents of divine influence in our lives. I was blessed with a strong influence from the spiritual current of Zion Choir. Zion Choir quickly became a spiritual sanctuary for me each week. I was able to freely express my love for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ through music. There is a special spirit present at each rehearsal that is wonderful and happy! Singing sacred music not only strengthened my testimony, but is also tons of fun! I established many, many lifelong friendships, and the most important of these was with my Heavenly Father. During my time in choir, I felt His love intensely, and I came to know Him more personally. The spirit and love I felt from God and the other members carried me through trials and challenges with the assurance that this mortal world is not all there is. This life is not the end. We will live in eternal joy and happiness in the Kingdom of Heaven. Zion Choir blessed me with increased faith, learning, eternal perspective, and most of all, increased HOPE.” — Sara S., 2013-2014

“During the time I was in the choir, my testimony was strengthened, my musical talents improved and I made lifelong friendships. Having the opportunity to sing about the Savior for a few hours every week was a great blessing. It brought the spirit into my life and reminded me of the tender mercies of the Lord. After every rough week, I found solace in the music that teaches vital gospel lessons. I was continuously reminded of the year’s theme, which always happened to be exactly what I needed, when I needed it. Singing uplifting songs renewed my determination to carry on through my trials and rejuvenated the flame of my testimony. I have learned that if I let the Savior in, He will heal my heart. He brings hope to those in need, and I know that hope can be an anchor for my soul. Participating in this choir brought me closer to Christ and provided a spiritually uplifting environment where I could leave my trials behind and spend a few hours remembering to place my trust in the Lord.”  — Jessica S., 2012-2014
