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.

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.

Adults are learning the Robert Ray, Gospel Mass to be performed on Palm Sunday (new) at 8:30 and 11:00. It is time to join us as we learn this wonderful work.

Sunday, January 22, the Adult Anthem at 11:00 is “Here I Am.”  Solo needed for 8:30 service.  

Here these words from Psalm 27 and Matt.4:

God is our light and our salvation.  In Christ, we no longer walk in darkness or division, but are called forth to unity and love, to light and life.  (Abingdon Worship Annual 2017)

Have a blessed week!

YOUTH, Grades 6-12!

Hello everyone!

Here is the calendar for Spring 2017.   Notice a couple of updates. 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]

NEW Rehearsal TIME! 2:15 to 3:15 pm   Use the number above to text me if you will be late picking up your youth.

I have worked hard on this schedule so that when we meet we can make the most of our time together.  This will also give Bill an opportunity to schedule Sunday afternoon activities that last longer than the normal time.  We have so much talent!  Thank you for your support.
