2009 Vision: Impacting our community through the arts and acts of kindness
One of the main themes around FCCN this year will be "impacting others." I'm excited about that, because it goes right along with the plans for the worship ministry this year! Remember why we are doing this: we'll be performing some good music in the community, and then inviting them to come and worship here at FCCN. Our prayer is that they will eventually become fully devoted followers to Jesus!
Choir & Orchestra
Come on out and join the choir and orchestra! We're looking for more volunteers to serve! We practice every Sunday night from 6:00-7:30 P.M., and childcare is provided for every practice.
This Sunday night, we'll be working on "Hear our Praises" & "All Because of Jesus" Here's what the evening will look like:
6:00 opening prayer and value of the month!
6:05-6:35 sectional rehearsal: "Hear our Praises" & "All Because of Jesus"
6:35-6:55 full choir practices in the chapel, orchestra & rhythm section continues to practice on stage
6:55-7:15 Prayer groups
7:15-7:30: Everyone in the worship center to practice "Hear our Praises" & "All Because of Jesus" together
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: "Be on time"
Showing up on time tells everyone that you respect them and value them. It's a simple courtesy that goes a long way. Consider what Rory Noland says in his book Thriving as an Artist:
“I have found tardiness to be the most common example of irresponsibility among artists. It may not bother you if you’re habitually late, but it is inconsiderate of others. It sends a subtle message that other people’s time is not as important as your personal schedule. It also communicates that what they’re doing is not worth you being on time. It’s not okay to keep people waiting for you. It’s a basic human courtesy to show up when you say you will. ‘Let your ‘yes’ be ‘yes’ and your ‘no,’ ‘no.’ (Matt. 5:37). If you want to be taken seriously as a leader or as an artist, be a men or woman of your word. No matter how talented you are, it eventually wears thin if your lake of punctuality becomes a habit” (54).
As you know, I strive very hard to begin and end practices on time, because I respect you and your time! We're all busy people. How much have you already done today? :)
God bless,
Phill
