THIS WEEKS MUSIC NEWS SEPTEMBER 9, 2008
September 9th, 2008“Now the end of all things is near; therefore, be clear-headed and disciplined for prayer. Above all, keep your love for one another at full strength, since love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaining. Based on the gift they have received, everyone should use it to serve others, as good managers of the varied grace of God. If anyone speaks, his speech should be like the oracles of God; if anyone serves, his service should be from the strength God provides, so that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To Him belong the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.” (1st Peter 4:7-11)
OPEN CHOIR REHEARSAL/FIRST CHRISTMAS PROGRAM REHEARSAL
The Open Choir rehearsal and our first Christmas program rehearsal was a huge success. Although we didn’t get any new members, we had several former members come back to join us for the Christmas program. Please welcome back Connie Henson, Joyce Baldwin, Kelly Krueger, Dave McMullin and Jeffrey Jones. I hope they are the first of many as we begin preparing for our 15th Anniversary Christmas Eve celebration.

“If then there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by thinking the same way, having the same love, sharing the same feelings, focusing on one goal. Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves. Everyone should look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.” (Philippians 2:1-4)
