Music Ministry Weekly News! Jan 24 2017

Greetings! 

This coming Sunday, we’ll feature music accompanied with a praise band, including Bob Michael, Rob Arruda, Stewart Odell, Efrain Sain, Jonathan Kaan and Andrea Millaway on vocals (along with me).  The anthem at 11:00 am will include our Youth Choir on percussion for Bless The Lord, My Soul.   There is a program in the Sanctuary during Sunday School, but I need you to come to the choir room promptly at 10:45 so we have time to run through the song a couple of times  

Youth (grades 6-12) see the block below with our spring schedule!  NEW

 One change is that we will rehearse following UMYF after all, for 30 minutes for the Talent Show!  Plan to stay until 2:45 on Sunday 1/29/17.  WE NEED MO

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.

For your prayer time:  

Who is able to stand in the face of the storm and not be moved? Who is able to kneel before the Lord and not be put to shame? Those who walk blamelessly and speak truthfully with gentleness from their whole heart.  Those who are not afraid to appear foolish in the pursuit of peace.  (from the Abingdon Worship Annual 2017)

Have a blessed week!
