Happy Thursday!
Here’s what you need to know this week:
This Sunday
Full worship ministry is leading - choir, band, and orchestra. Call time for instrumentalists, praise team, and A/V is 8:00am on stage. Call time for choir is 8:30am in the choir room. The big anthem, I Believe in a Hill Called Mt. Calvary, is up!
The sermon text for the day comes from Titus 1, and Pastor Scott will be preaching.
We’re singing It Was Finished Upon that Cross, Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing, The Old Rugged Cross, and I Believe in a Hill Called Mt. Calvary.
Notes
In the month of June while I am on sabbatical, we’ll have a few guest conductors to direct the choir anthems each week. Over the next few rehearsals, these individuals will be rehearsing their songs with the choir, so please make every effort to be here and give them your full attention! I love having so many capable musicians and leaders in our worship ministry.
Just a reminder that I try to send from time to time: if at all possible, please plan to serve in choir/orchestra both services on Sundays. (I realize that some of you have Life Group responsibilities or other serving commitments that keep you from doing so, and that’s ok!). The goal is for us to make both our morning worship services as identical as possible, and keeping the same personnel for both services goes a long way in accomplishing that goal.
Our brand new School of Performing Arts homeschool band program is officially open for registration. You can find more information on our website here. Please share with whomever you think would find that information valuable, and if you have a heart to help us get this up and running, feel free to reach out to April or me.
Prayer requests
Emily Leopold (alto), expecting her third child in November. Pray for a healthy pregnancy.
Reagan Bacgi, having x-rays next week to watch the positioning of a screw in his bone.
Pat Bowman, who hurt her finger severely at work and may be facing surgery.
Kim Hanna, recovering from total knee replacement surgery.
Charles Taylor (orchestra member), with weakness in his legs and balance problems due to Parkinson’s.
Skip Ritter, whose surgery was postponed due to insurance issues.
Kathleen Marshall, undergoing chemo treatments.
An Extra
Are you involved in a Life Group at Stevens Street? As worship ministry members, I want to encourage you to get plugged into one of these groups as part of the discipleship process at our church. Just being in worship ministry is a big commitment, and I pray that you are fed spiritually each week during rehearsal. However, it’s no substitute for sitting around the Bible together and sharing prayer requests with a smaller group of people who can help you week after week!
If you aren’t in a group, I’d love to help you connect to one. In fact, if you want an easy place to start, just go to the choir room after leading worship in the 9:00 service. We have a life group that meets back there, comprised mainly of worship ministry people. Why not come this Sunday?
I am so thankful for you all. I’ll see you Sunday.
- Andy
