Worship Ministry Update: 11/18/08

2009 Vision: Serving the Community through the Arts and Acts of Kindness
 
    The Choir will be singin at the mall this Sunday!  We'll meet first at FCCN for our regular practice at 6:00 (in the dining room).  Then we'll board the FCCN bus around 6:45.  We'll be singing in the food court of the mall from 7:45-8:15.  You all are welcome to shop until the bus leaves at 9:00 P.M.
 
    You do not have to take the bus: you are welcome to carpool if you want.  But I'll be riding the bus since it would be a long walk for me with no vehicle. :)
 
    Please remember the FCCN dress code for the evening. :)
 
    We will be providing a ticket for everyone in the choir.  If you have any children with you, they will get in free!  But if you have any teenagers or adults, please purchase a $10 ticket at the welcome centers this Sunday morning or at the Sunday night practice.
 
    Since we will be inside the mall in the cafe court, the orchestra will not be joining us.  (Fooey, I'd much rather have live music!)  We'll be using a CD instead.  
 
    We will also have some invite cards to the Christmas musical to hand out to people in the food court.
 
    Remember why we are doing this: we'll sing some quality music, and then invite them to come and worship with us at FCCN.  Who knows how many people will eventually become Christians because we extended grace to them in the community.  In short, we'll be "serving the community through the arts and acts of kindness." 
 
Experiential Worship,  this Saturday night!
 
    Scott Lehman & Eric Rudisill would like to invite you all to a great night of worship!
 
    Anyone and everyone in the church is invited to a time to gather and worship together this Saturday night, November 22, at 5 pm. We'll pack in the high school room upstairs by the gym. Bring a carry-in dish and some plates so we can all "break bread" together, and then we'll sing and have some high-energy (read: sorta loud) worship. Bring the kids along. You may even hear from a couple people in the body about what has been on their hearts as of late. Questions, or want to help? Email or call Eric Rudisill (550-5302) or Scott Lehman (402-0933).
 
 Orchestra  & Rhythm Section 
 
     Since you all will not be joining us at the mall, Fran has requested that you all practice one more time together.  For this Sunday night practice only, you will be practicing in the chapel since the drama will be in the worship center.   
 
    I look forward to playing music with you all in December!
 
Value for the Month: Memorization
 
    One of the best tricks I've found in memorizing is to take it "piece by peice." Start with a small "gulp" at a time.  Don't try to memorize the entire chapter or even the entire verse at a time.  One phrase at a time will do.
 
    When trying to memorize music from a CD, try the same thing: rewind the same part over and over again.  It sounds a little strange, but it works.
