Music and the Church of Christ

When the Church of Christ assembles the only activity in which the attendees actively participate is singing and possibly the Lord's Supper. I say possibly the Lord's Supper because most try to take the smallest piece of bread and are served a miniature shot glass of juice. Hardly evidence of actively participating in a memorable Lord's Supper.
 
The role of music in the assembly is crucial.
 
There is no magic number of minutes for music. George Barna reports that highly effective churches dedicate an average of 20 minutes of uninterrupted music into their services.
 
The Church of Christ considers music a necessary evil and sing as little as possible.
