Music Ministry Spring is a very busy time in the Music Ministry of the church. The choirs are preparing for our annual Mission Conference weekend and Palm Sunday, Lessons and Psalms, and Easter. Here is the upcoming schedule for the Misson Conference: Thursday, March 8—The Women’s Choir will sing. Friday, March 9—The Sanctuary Choir will sing. Sunday morning, March 11—The Sanctuary Choir will sing The Chapel Choir is still meeting on Sunday evenings at 7:00 although rehearsal attendance has been thin due to the current flu season. Summer Waves is just around the corner in May. For the Youth Choir, there WILL be rehearsal on Easter Sunday, April 1—plan ahead. The Choir is anticipating a choir trip on April 13 through 15. Rehearsal attendance is necessary for participation in this trip. Two absences are allowed from January-April 8. If more rehearsals are missed, the student needs to sing the music to me to ensure knowledge of the music. Even with approved absences, the student will need to sing for me if more than two rehearsals are missed. The choir will leave from the church on Friday afternoon, and have a fun day on Saturday, April 13 (plans yet to be completed). On Sunday morning, we will sing at a Greenville, SC, area church (plans are still being determined), returning on Sunday afternoon. We are looking forward to a great time together. The Sanctuary Choir is working on several anthems for Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, and Easter services. New members are always welcome. Choir—6:30-8:30 p.m. The ability to carry a tune is the only requirement. Please notify me or any choir member in order for you to get in the building. Please continue to pray for the Music Ministry of our church. “I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.” Psalm 104:33 — Kathryn Van Eck G etting a big hug from M r .
