“My soul, praise the Lord, and all that is within me, praise His holy name. My soul, praise the Lord, and do not forget all His benefits. He forgives all your sin; He heals all your diseases. He redeems your life from the pit; He crowns you with faithful love and compassion. He satisfies you with goodness; your youth is renewed like the eagle.”

PATRIOTIC CELEBRATION

Okay everyone! I could not of dreamed that our Patriotic Celebration would have gone so well and have been so well received. I am well aware that the success of any program has little to do with me and mostly to do with the Lords’ hand of blessing as well as your commitment and dedication to this ministry. Without the Lord and you we wouldn’t be having any programs, and I wouldn’t have a job, so I’m grateful to the Lord that I get to be a part of what he is doing, and that he uses and guides me as I put a program together, and to develop the talent that he uses to present the program. I was truly blessed and I hope you were too. What a great way to end this season of Ministry, and to begin another.

MUSIC FOR JULY 6, 2008

Neither the Choir or the Praise Team will sing in either service this week. Enjoy your time off. You deserve it.

Bradley Perry will sing the Vocal Praise in both services.

Mable Brown will play the piano and Pam Hagan or 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.

PARTY!!!!!!!!

Our celebration of what the Lord has done for us this Choir season has been scheduled. It will be held at the home of Ted and Nancy Logan on Friday, July 18 at 6:30 pm. If you have participated in the Music Ministry in any way from last July until now you are invited. Even if you just sang in the Choir one time we want you to come. Realizing that we can all do more together than by our selves, this party is to celebrate your team spirit by pulling together to get the job done, and to celebrate the Lord’s continual blessing. The main course is homemade ice-cream. If you have the ability to make homemade ice-cream make your favorite flavor and bring it for us to try. If you don’t know how, or don’t have the time bring something that goes with ice-cream, like Sunday toppings, or fried chicken (Kidding!!!) or watermelon, and please someone make chocolate ice-cream, or bring your favorite summer treat, or don’t bring anything, just come. There will be a variety of activities to do or you can just sit and fellowship. Either way come and relax, bring your families (Children included) and have a great time.

The month of July is a hard month to get rehearsals in. This Sunday, July 6 rehearsals are canceled due to the fact that it is a holiday weekend. Sunday, July 13 rehearsals will be canceled because of V.B.S. preparations. Because they use our room during V.B.S. it will need to be decorated etc… so the first time we will be able to rehearse is Sunday evening July 20 at 6:00 pm.

“My soul, praise the Lord! Lord my God, You are very great; You are clothed with majesty and splendor. He wraps Himself in light as if it were a robe, spreading out the sky like a canopy, laying the beams of His palace on the waters above. Making the clouds His chariot, walking on the wings of the wind, and making winds His messengers, flames of fire His servants.” (Psalm 104:1-4)
