Greetings! 

Thank you for the great start this past week!  Children, Youth and Adults, ringers and singers are back making music for our worship services.

We had 3 new ringers at the Monday rehearsal.  We want more of you to join us!  Come Monday, January 16th at 10:00 am and give it a try.  We are learning the basics now!

Youth (grades 6-12) see the block below with our spring schedule!  We have simplified the performance dates with only two rehearsals required for each performance.  

Children are planning for Children’s Sabbath on February 5th.  Both pre-school and elementary choirs will sing that day.  Pre-schoolers are only at the 11:00 service.

We are once again combining our Talent Show with the Chili Cook-off.  Mark your calendars for February 25!  See the block below for more information and sign up to cook and/or perform in the Narthex.

Adults are learning the Robert Ray, Gospel Mass to be performed on Maunday Thursday, April 13th.  We will also do movements from the work on Sunday mornings in April.  It is time to join us as we learn this wonderful work.

Sunday, January 15, we will remember our Baptisms.  The adult anthem at 11:00 is “Living Water.”  Youth Choir Alums are welcome to join us!

Washed in the waters of Christ’s baptism, we are  healed in the waters of love.  Cleansed in the waters of God’s Spirit, we are reborn in the waters of life. (from 2017 Abingdon Worship Annual)

Have a blessed week!

YOUTH, Grades 6-12!

Hello everyone!

Here is the calendar that I’m proposing for Spring 2017.  Please look it over and let me know what conflicts that you have.  If you know you will be out of town or there is a scout camp out, let me know so I can plan accordingly. 

We will not rehearse every Sunday.  I have scheduled two rehearsals and a performance for each month. Both rehearsals are important for this schedule to work!

Parents/Adults are needed to plan choir tour.  

I need parents to:

Find concert venues

Find host churches for sleeping

Attend as chaperone (might include cooking and/or driving)

Text me at 972-849-5372 or email me at [email protected]
