CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST

Our Christmas in August choir party will be on Saturday, August 23 at 6:00 pm at the home of Mike and Marcella Beers, 722 Dorson Circle here in Sullivan. If you are curious about what we will be doing for Christmas this year this is the party for you, if you just want to fellowship, this is also the party for you. Just load up the family and your favorite Christmas snack and come on. Remember this year we are celebrating 15 years of doing the Cantata on Christmas Eve, and all past, present and future Choir members are invited to attend. Work will begin on our Christmas program during our open Choir rehearsal on Sunday September 7.

OPEN CHOIR REHEARSAL

We will have an open choir rehearsal for all those interested in joining the choir on Sunday, September 7 at 6:00 pm. If you want to join the choir, or are just interested to see what we do in choir come sit in on this rehearsal, if you love music, can carry tune, and have a heart for worshipping God, choir is the ministry for you. If any of you choir members have people that you want to invite, feel free, your help would be much appreciated.

NOTE BURNING

We will not be singing in the note burning celebration after all. We will be using a trailer for a stage, and I don’t think we would all be able to get up there very easily or fit very well. Also we don’t really have anyway to mic the choir outdoors like that, so we won’t be singing.

WEDNESDAY SCHEDULE CHANGES

Our Wednesday evening schedule will be changing beginning on the 20th of August. Wednesday Meals will be from 5:00 to 6:00 pm and prices will be $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for children 12 and under. G-Force for children 1st through 6th grades and Youth programs for grades 7 through 12 will begin at 6:00 pm. Prayer meeting will now begin at 6:30 while any other adult activity will begin anytime between 6:00 and 6:30. The good news is that everything will now conclude by 7:30 getting all of us home a little earlier, and easing the burden on families with school age children. Because of the scheduling changes we will now have any make-up or extra Wednesday Choir rehearsals from 6:30-7:30 during prayer meeting. If you have any question, don’t hesitate to call.

REHEARSAL CHANGES

Due to the note burning celebration and labor day weekend it will be necessary to reschedule two rehearsals. We will have no rehearsals on Sunday evening August 24 due to the note burning ceremony. This makes it necessary to schedule a make-up rehearsal on Wednesday August 27 at 6:30. We will also not be rehearsing during labor day weekend, Sunday August 31 which means another make-up rehearsal has been scheduled for Wednesday, September 3 at 6:30 pm. Please mark your calendars and change your schedules accordingly. Thanks for your flexibility.
