2009 Vision: Impacting the community through the arts and acts of kindness : Warrick County Musical: July 16-18
Warrick County Summer Musical : We're serving dinner beforehand!
You all have responded well to this! Thanks to everyone who have volunteered to help!
Right now, we need people to volunteer to help serve the meal on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening at 5:30! As I mentioned last week, Freddie and Melinda Pipes will be preparing all of the food, but we get to opportunity to serve it to them! I look forward to serving these people, extending a "cup of cold water" in Jesus' name. The procededs from the dinner will help cover the cost of our Christmas Musical in December!
Remember, there are 3 ways you can be involved:
1) Wendesday night, July 15, helping Freddy and Melinda prep the food (peal potatos, etc.)
2) Thursday, Friday & Saturday evenings: help serve the food before the musical
3) Helping take phone orders from 11:00-1:00 and 5:00-7:00 Monday through Thursday at Castle High School, room 116
Please contact Jake Miller at jmiller@fccn.org or 858-500 ext. 211, if you are interested in helping with this!
Praise team practice will be in the high school room on Tuesdays from 6:00-8:00 P.M.
Since the Warrick County Summer musical is here, we will practice for praise team up in the high school room. Same Bat time, same bat channel, just a different room.
Vocal Team: ooh's and ahh's
As you have probably noticed over the last few weeks, our vocalists are adding a few more improvisations and lead parts during the worship set. We have started to do that as long as it is done with 1) humility and 2) encourages participation from the congregation. Humility is a right understanding of who we are before God. A vocal lead part or improvisation must be done with humility in mind. If I'm choosing to sing a lead part to draw attention to myself, I should remain silent. :) Secondly, it must be done to encourage participation from the people. As you know, we highly value participation from the congregation here at FCCN, and we must keep this in mind every time we lead worship for the folks at FCCN. After years of leading worship here and countless conversations with many people, I've learned that they want to be involved in the worship: they don't just want to sit and watch. Participation in worship is a very biblical concept anyway! So if we're going to improvise, we must do it with humility and to encourage participation.

The Foust fam is going to Cmoe tonight: the first Thursday night of every month is free, so the price is right for us :). I think I enjoy it as much as Nathan and Luke, probably more. Have you been to that water room? It's a blast!
