“Now finally, all of you should be like-minded and sympathetic, should love believers, and be compassionate and humble, not paying back evil for evil or insult for insult but, on the contrary, giving a blessing, since you were called for this, so that you can inherit a blessing.” (1st Peter 3:8-9)

MUSIC FOR SUNDAY FEBRUARY 24, 2008

You all did a great job this past Sunday the song “Manna From Heaven” was great in both services, the worship was strong in spite of not rehearsing. God really stepped in and blessed us. This week the Choir will sing “The Great I Am Still Is” in both services. Please be in the Choir room by 8:00 am for the 1st service and again by 10:30 am for the second service.  Again, as always I appreciate and value your time and effort.

Christy Jones will sing the vocal praise in both services.

Jean Lueken will play the piano and Pam Hagan will play the keyboard in the 8:15 service.

Kathy Perry will play the piano and Virgie McGill will play the keyboard in the 10:45 service.

The Praise Team will sing in the 10:45 service.  The singers will be Linda Magruder, Christy Jones, Rick Mattiesen, and Bradley Perry.

Choir rehearsal will be at 5:30

Praise Team rehearsal will be at 7:00 pm with Kalyn Center, Erica Turilli, Kathy and Bradley Perry in attendance.

EASTER SOLO ASSIGNMENTS

I would like to thank everyone who was interested in the solos in our Easter program I wish that I could give everyone a solo, but because of the few solos and the large number of people who were interested I am unable to do that. I based my decision on a number of factors including individual preparedness, whether or not you had a solo part in the Christmas program, how well the songs fit the voices, and the way the musical itself is written. Because of the way the musical is written I decided it would be better to just assign the solos to one person instead of splitting them up like I did at Christmas. With all this in mind the results are as follows: Evette Eickelmann will be singing the solo on “You Call Me Yours”, Bradley Perry (Our Famous Intern) will sing the solo on “My Savior, My God”. This will probably be one of his last programs with us if not the last. It depends on how things work out with the mission trips this summer whether or not he will be able to sing in the patriotic program or not. Kalyn Center, who by the way new all three songs almost perfectly, will sing the solo on “Coming Back to Life”. For those of you who didn’t get a solo this time, rest assured there will be other cantatas and solo opportunities. This really helps me to get to know everyones voices better, and helps me to know what kind of songs and programs to pick based on the voices we have. Thanks again for your interest, everyone did such a great job that it made my job difficult, keep up the good work.
