Snow Snow Snow!
I hope you all are keeping warm! We don't have power at the Foust house, but we have a Karosene heater that keeps our house at around 65 degrees (We also have it well ventelated and a carbon monoxide detector, in case you wondered). Come on over if you get cold! 5063 E. Sherwood Dr. in Newburgh.
We WILL be having church on Sunday despite the weather, so I hope to see you then! We have power here at the church building, I can look out side my window and see them plowing the parkinglot right now! So I look forward to worshipping with you all on Sunday!
Choir & Orchestra
I can't wait for this Sunday when we lead worship together! Please remember to observe the dress code, park in the back of the parkinglot, drop off any kiddos with Jennifer in the nursery and be in the worship center by 7:00 A.M.! Remember that we will not be practicing Sunday evening. You're all welcome to come over to my house and watch the big game. I'm hoping the Foust fam will have power by Sunday night? Maybe...
Solo Tryouts
Thanks to everyone who tried out for a solo! It was great to hear so many voices at the tryout! Here are the soloists chosen by the vocal equippers:
"All Because of Jesus"
Male Soloist: Bill Miller
Male Understudy: Adam Schaffer
Female Solo: Mary Lehman
Famale Understudy: Suzanne Chambliss
"Your Grace is Enough"
Soloist: Bob Walters
Understudy: Russ Berkau
"God of this City"
Soloist: J.R. Holesinger
Understudy: Samantha Keller
"Hear our Praises"
Soloist: Suzanne Chambliss
Understudy: Barb Cash
Remember that the understudy needs to have the solo memorized and be ready to sing it if the soloist gets sick or is unable to sing! That happens more often than you might think. :)
Two Kingdoms Christmas Musical DVD's
If you would like a copy of the DVD for the Christmas Musical, you may sign up for one at the welcome center this Sunday, or request a copy directly by emailing our media director, Guy Hall ghall@fccn.org. The DVD will include special features, including outtakes! :)
Value for the Month: "Integrity"
I have seen some of the best examples of integrity in my neighborhood during this snow and ice storm. People helping their neighbors out, shoveling their trucks out of a tight spot, and just helping each other out. It's amazing how an emergency like this will help remind us all of what's important!
This passage probably has direct meaning for us today: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:20-21). God calls us to live a life of integrity, even in a snow storm.
God bless, and stay warm out there,
Phill
