We’re taking a break from our “Why We Do What We Do” series for this exciting news flash:
I just wanted to let you all know about something really wonderful that is taking place this summer with the worship teams and the YOUTH of our church. We’re calling it: WORSHIP 101
It’s basically a way of coming alongside the junior highers and high schoolers to encourage them to use their skills and gifts to build up the body of Christ.
We had 20 youth show up for our kickoff gathering, with more who are interested! The Music Advisory Team (that’s Nathan Reider, Judy Ziemer, Jon Stadtlander, Kellee Murphy and Jeanelle Reider) will be leading this program, with lots of help from the worship and audiovisual teams. Here’s what we’ll be doing this summer:
- Meeting most Wednesday nights (before youth group)
- Providing dinner
- Exploring the heart of worship (through a worship study book called Pure Praise)
- Providing workshops to work on instrumental, vocal, and audiovisual skills
- Gearing up to take part in a Sunday morning service August 30
Hopefully using this summer as a springboard for many more opportunities
in the area of worship arts!
Here’s how YOU can help:
- Please pray that the Lord will use this program to help the youth of our church
catch a vision for using their gifts and talents in the body of Christ
for the rest of their lives! - Provide Wednesday night meals (or contribute money to the meals).
Please contact Darlene Densley (887-4621) if you are able to help in this way.
Okay, so next month we’ll get back to Part 10 of “Why We Do What We Do,” but this was just too important not to let you know about it!
Worshiping with you,
Jeanelle
