Choir & Orchestra this Sunday night, September 20 at 6:00 P.M.!
We had a great turnout, and we hope you'll join us this Sunday night! We'll be working on "A New Hallelujah." Here's how the evening will progress:
6:00-6:10 opening prayer and value of the month! (Matthew 18)
6:10-6:30 Sectional practice: "A New Hallelujah" (sopranos: room 215, basses: room 216, tenors: room 220, altos: chapel, orchestra & rhythm section: worship center
6:30-6:50 Choir in the chapel, orchestra and rhythm section in the worship center
6:50-7:10 Choir and orchestra together in the worship center: "A New Hallelujah."
7:10-7:30 Prayer groups.
I forgot to mention this last night: 20 minutes of each rehearsal is a prayer time: you'll meet with the same 8-10 folks each week, and they will ask "what is one thing we can pray for you about this week?" You don't have to mention anything if you don't want to. The only rule is that it's something for you: not your cousin who lives in Alabama or President Obama or the Chicago Bears (sorry, Louis, tough loss yesterday). Then pray as a small group: you don't have to pray out loud unless you feel led. This is probably one of the greatest blessings of the choir and orchestra ministry, so I look forward to starting that Sunday.
Christmas Musical Drama Tryouts: This Sunday afternoon, September 20 in the Chapel at 4:00 P.M.
There are many acting opportunities in the Christmas musical this year, both speaking and non-speaking. The speaking roles are only adult roles this year, but there are non-speaking roles for children and adults. Let me know if you would like a copy of the script before the tryout and I'll send you a copy.
Value of the Month: "Matthew 18"
15"If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. 16But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.' 17If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
I'd like to focus on verse 16 this week. To be honest, in 9 of 10 situations, verse 15 is as far as it goes. But in a few cases, we have to move to the second phase: "take one or two others along." If you have an issue with someone else in the worship ministry, and you're at the second phase, I volunteer to go with you. Not because I enjoy conflict, but because I care about you all and want God's best for you. So please involve me in the process if you have to go the next phase. I promise to do it in a loving and Christ like way.
