“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” (1 Peter 2:19)

LAST SUNDAYS MUSIC

I am still amazed at how God used us last Sunday. In the morning proclaiming that God has never changed, you sang so powerfully, that our church family couldn’t help but be moved to worship. Then on Sunday night at the missions rally when so many of you participated in the associational wide choir, to make up a large choir of over 60 people. If you couldn’t be there we missed you, hopefully we will have another opportunity to have an experience like this again soon. I have no words to express my gratitude to you for being so commited to your calling to lead in worship. Your hard work has not only been noticed, it is showing. Several people have come up to me and said that there is something different about the way we are singing. I believe the difference is the power of God flowing and working through each one of us. The power of God can only flow like that when our hearts are humbled before him, and we are living in obedience to him and his calling. Thank you for your commitment to him, and the music/worship ministry of this church.

DON’T FORGET

Don’t forget that we have added Wednesday rehearsals to our schedule. Wednesday rehearsals are one hour in length and begin at 6:00 pm.

MUSIC FOR NOVEMBER 12, 2006

This Sunday the choir will be singing “Orphans of God” in both services. When I think about your committment to this ministry I am overwhelmed with gratitude, I know that a good number of you sing in both services, and I just want you to know that I really appreciate that, and hope that all who can will sing in both services. We will meet in the choir room at 8:00 am for the first service then again at 10:30 am for the second. I look forward to ministering with you on Sunday.
