FCC Worship Ministry: Worship Ministry Update: June 30

2009 Vision: Serving the community through the arts and acts of kindness.

Our focus group met last Wednesday and finished an outreach schedule for 2009. We'll be at various venues, with different size groups! We'll be able to do lots of variety in music and involve many people! We'll also be doing a few community wide outreach events. I look forward to sharing the plans with you in the coming months. Please continue to pray about how God will specifically use you to accomplish His vision in reaching the community.

The 3rd Quarter Schedule is out!

Vocal team and band: your schedules are in your boxes, so stop by the green room and see what's goin' on. I'm also considering "outsourcing" the scheduling duties next quarter, but not to India. :) I'll be praying for a volunteer with the gift of organization that would like to schedule the 4th quarter. Let me know if God is nudging you as you read this...

Major Moves this week!

As you might know, the Warrick County Musical is scheduled at FCCN in July. (It will be a great event when many people will be at the FCCN campus, so praise the Lord!) This Sunday, we'll be moving some stuff out of the worship center so they can practice:

This Tuesday night, July 1 @ 8:00 P.M. (after praise team practice). We'll be moving all of the stuff back behind the stage to the storage room under North stadium seating.

This Sunday, July 13 @ 12:00 Noon (after the 2nd service). We'll be moving all of the instruments and decorations off of the stage, including the drums, piano and cross.

We'll needs lots of help, so come on out at those times and help me build some muscle mass! :)

Mentor and Equipper Ice Cream Buffet: Wednesday night, July 9 @ 6:30 P.M. @ Joe and Kendra Bradford's house, 5055 Landview Dr.
Newburgh, IN 47630.

All the mentors and equippers in the worship ministry are invited for ice-cream and a dip in the pool! Bring the kids and we'll have a blast! I'm not planning on having a "meeting" per se, unless any of you have anything you want to discuss with the entire group. But I would like all 20 of us to get together for some fellowship. It seems like the folks at FCCN are eating a lot of ice-cream nowadays, huh? :)

Value of the Month: Take a Break

As we finish this value for the month, I'd like to remind all of us about the importance of not only taking a break from hard work, but also taking time out to pray and read your Bible. It's the example of Jesus that we ultimately follow: "Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed" (Luke 5:16).

This morning I read the beginning part of 1 Corinthians. Man! Did THAT church have problems! Wow. It encourages me that, even though the early church had many "issues," they still managed to turn the world on it's ear for Jesus. Maybe God is calling us to do the same...

God bless,
