Thanks to everyone for all the wonderful comments about the music on Easter Sunday.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the dedicated singers and musicians that worked so hard to provide such spiritually uplifting music during Lent and Easter, and who continue to devote their time throughout the year to serve and worship God with their musical talents.
Our church is blessed with many talented and dedicated servants that love to praise the Lord through music. Groups include the Chancel Choir, Handbell Choir, Orchestra, and various small ensembles. Participating in choir and other musical groups is a great way to serve and worship the Lord. Jesus says in Luke 4:8, "'You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve." The choir and music ensembles provide an invaluable service in helping to lead the worship service every Sunday morning. If you enjoy singing or playing a musical instrument, please come and join us. The choir will continue to practice every Thursday at 7:00 p.m. through the end of May. During the summer months, June through August, we will practice twice a month. Handbells are taking a break through the summer and will resume weekly in September. The orchestra will be practicing and playing for worship services periodically, at least once a month. If you would like to join the choir, just bring your voice and your love of music to choir practice at 7:00 p.m., Thursday. If you are interested in one of the other groups, please let me know. I can be reached at 304-633-0924 or at
dshanklin@gmail.com
. Hope you will join us soon!
David Shanklin, Choir Director
