Notes
Kids choirs and Student Worship Arts will resume this Sunday evening at 5:00p. SWA is our new student choir program. If you’d like to sit in and help the students learn their parts, we’d love to have more adults help! Just let me know you’re interested.
You can pick up a choir CD for this semester on the choir room tables.

An Extra
Charles Spurgeon was a famous Baptist pastor in England in the 19th century, and is often referred to as the “Prince of Preachers.” One of our U.S. presidents (James A. Garfield) once attended at worship service at Spurgeon’s church and described the congregation’s singing. I thought this was a great way to describe our vision for faith-filled, wall-shaking singing from the redeemed.
In biblical faithfulness, let’s shoot for this in all our leading, singing, accompanying, sound mixing, and button pressing:
““The whole building was filled and overflowed with the strong volume of song. The music made itself felt as a living, throbbing presence, that entered your nerves, brain, heart, and filled and swept you away in its resistless current.””
See you Sunday,
Andy
