“Therefore through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips that give thanks to His name.” (Hebrews 13:15)

MUSIC FOR SUNDAY APRIL 13, 2008

This Sunday, the Choir will be singing in both services “I’m Taking a Stand” from the Easter program. This song should still be fresh enough in your minds that you could still sing it even if you didn’t come to our first rehearsal back last Sunday, so you feel free to come sing with us if you know the song, we would love to have you.

Briana Key will sing the Vocal Praise in both services.

Mable Brown will play the piano and Virgie McGill will play the keyboard in the 8:15 service.

Kathy Perry will play the piano and Jean Lueken will play the keyboard in the 10:45 service.

The praise team will sing and play in the 10:45 service. The singers will be Sharon D., Nancy L., Kathy P., and Bradley P.

Choir rehearsal will be at 6:00 pm

Praise Team practice will be at 7:00 pm with Kendall T., Christy J., Rick M., and Bradley P. in attendance.

CHOIR REHEARSAL RESUMES

Choir rehearsal resumed last Sunday evening. The rehearsals will now be at 6:00 pm on Sunday evenings only until further notice. I was encouraged by the attendance and the attitude of those present. As always thank you for the commitment of your time, voices and resources to the service of our Lord.

HELP WANTED

We are in need of a “Music Ministry Assistant”. This Volunteer Assistant will help maintain the music Library (filing etc…), check role, collect money for the Music Ministry Fund, send out we missed you cards, and other duties as assigned. The hours will be during all choir practices. They will receive all of the benefits of Choir membership and none of the glory, and they do not have to be a musician or a singer. If you know of someone who may be looking for a behind the scenes type ministry, tell them to contact me (Evan) at the Church office 573-468-8044.

PATRIOTIC CELEBRATION

We will be doing some sort of Patriotic presentation this year, the date will be June 29, the Sunday before July 4th, at 8:15 and 10:45 am. I do not know exactly what we will be doing at this time, but expect to finalize that in the next couple of weeks. Please mark your calendars and make plans to sing with us for this special event.

COMMUNITY MUSIC EVENTS

There are two concerts that will occur in our community that normally you would have to drive all the way to St. Louis to see. The first is the Christian Worship Band “Cutless” who will be presenting a concert at Meramec Caverns this Saturday, April 12 at 6:00 pm. Tickets cost 12.00 dollars for seats in the back and 20.00 dollars for seats closer to the front. Cutless is a fairly new group with songs that have been released on Christian Radio.

The second event will occur on Monday, April 21 at 7:00 pm here at the Sullivan Performing Arts Theater when a Brass Quintet from the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra will present a Free concert.
